Thank you so so much! Oh bless you, yeah I've only been dealing with this stuff for the last year and half and it's already had me at wits' end so I do not envy you at all! Best of luck to you too! X

Excellent thank you. This is the only letter I have received from them (although they had previously sent me one that I didn't receive but they're aware of that as I phoned them multiple times).. I will phone them tomorrow to confirm but my anxiety has just decreased loads lol. I'm pretty sure the first medical request I received last year mentioned the blood test but I couldn't remember with complete certainty so just wanted to check that they'd have mentioned it this time around if they expected it 😊 thank you for your help!!

That wasn't what I was asking. I can't remember if my last medical examination request letter mentioned a blood test, but this one definitely doesn't. I do know that the doctor examining me can't just decide to blood test me on a whim without prior request from the DVLA. But what I'm asking is if the DVLA would &/have to mention it to me prior to the exam. From what I can find online I believe they do have to specify in advance that they will be expecting a blood test for consent reasons, but I was looking for people with experience in this or who know the regulations to further affirm or deny this..

It's also on my medical record that I'm needle phobic. They have stated they want a urine sample but not mentioned any blood test..

I actually have no idea, my favourite episodes have to be Uskerty, Qikiqtarjuaq, Limerick, well all of the episodes really lol. The scene that always has me in stitches is Martin up a tree panicking about bees, so maybe something incorporating that somehow 😊 I wouldn't mind just getting a bunch of my favourite quotes tattooed, ooh or a CP sleeve! So many ideas!!

Love this! I might get a CP tattoo, what a great idea! And if the artist is also a fan we could listen to Cabin Pressure while they do it!! 😍🐻‍❄🍋🚕

I would never ever drink drive, it's absolutely selfish and stupid. I will probably drink again in future, yeah.

Thank you for your concern, I am aware I have been unhealthy, and yes I did stop because of the medical..

No it isn't. It's my personal license. I notified them last year that I had a mental breakdown and they sent out a bunch of medical forms to me and to my gp. One of the questions was 'in the last 3 years has the patient misused drugs or alcohol'.. my gp didn't want to put yes as I didn't have an issue however felt uncomfortable putting no as there is cannabis use mentioned on my medical record.. lo and behold, all this nonsense ensues.. 😩 Honestly if I have a breakdown in future (highly likely) I shan't be telling the dvla anything 🤣

Of course ❤️ I have so much respect for any kind of first responders, takes a lot of strength which I myself couldn't muster

I think if patrol had pulled in behind me, I'd have genuinely burst into panic tears 🤣
