Should I Take A Medical Fitness Test For Getting Driving Licence?
Good evening. I am in the process of getting my driving licence back following a ban and I have a medical booked for January. I have a letter from the DVLA saying that I am allowed to drive now provided I would not fail the medical but that I should check with a doctor or specialist first. Does this mean I have to have a second medical or is this just if I was unsure if I would pass or not? I would appreciate your answer. Many thanks. chris
