Passing the DVLA medical CDT blood test
I am a bit of binge drinker. So I have drunk about 4 units of drambuie tonight and on 25th Jan I drank 2 bottles of wine and two small glasses of drambuie. Prior to that i drank a bottle of wine over 11/12th Jan and then i drank a bottle of champagne on NYE. I am hopeless should I still go ahead and have the blood test on Monday or cancel. This would be the 2n time I cancelled as I do not want fail but am struggling.

Provisional licence after DUY
I have applied for a provisional licence. I haven't had one for 15 years. I now have to go for a medical. i haven't had a drink now for 18 months and not planning to drink in the future. I have no health issues. So why a medical. It was drink driving what got me a ban not a health issue
Do they test for cannabis too?
How long should I not drink for in order to pass the medical? Do they test for cannabis too? I need my license back and can't risk failing it so any information or advice would be great? Thanks so much
Why do I have to have another DVLA medical after 12 month temporary license?
I don't understand.
Maybe I wasn't clear. I passed my medical 12 months ago, but the DVLA only issued me with a short term license. I now have to go through it all again, even though I passed last time. Is this normal?
Lost licence due to a seizure
Hi can anyone help me My friend was addicted to tramadol & suffered a seizure which resulted in losing his driving license then his job. He went in to depression & began to drink for about 2yrs & lost everything. Anyway he has came out of all that about 14mths ago & is working etc and applied for his license back. He had his medical today & he said the doctor took blood and kept talking about being alcohol dependant which he is not. He had a few pints on sat night for the footie & is stressing now that he will fail as he had no idea that it would be about alcohol. I think this is unfair as he lost his license due to a seizure which was caused by tramadol not alcohol.
Can anyone give us any advice as he is so stressed about it today.
Many thanks
