msgyorkie:
I once blacked out behind the wheel whilst working on Gatwick Airport. I had my licence temporarily revoked by DVLA whilst they did medical tests. DVLA told me it could be 6 months before I would be assesed by a doctor!!
On the day of fainting I had been ill nd had a bad ear infection. Sitting in the hot sun waiting to load is what tipped me over the edge.
Anyhow I couldnt finacially hold out for 6 months so I spoke to my GP about the options open to me.
I was advised to see a cardiovascular surgeon privatley to speed up my case. I went to my local private hospital and explained what had happened. He put me on a 72 hour heart monitor that very day. After the 3 days on the monitor and some other tests he anyalised the results and declared me fit as a fiddle. He wrote a letter to DVLA and gave them the results and explained that the blackout was caused by illness and heat exhaustion.
1 week later I had my licence back and the green light from DVLA.
This private treatment only cost me £96!!! The best £96 I have ever spent.
So my advice to you is go private to speed up the process.
cheers mate appreciate the advice
