Hi all, I had my driving licence taken away on the 12/09/26. Knew it was coming after my Doctor said not to drive and reported my dystonia to DVLA, sad to see it go loved my little Kia. Applied for a disabled bus pass on the bee network here in greater manchester, that also allows tram and train in local area. I was told to show them the letter from the DVLA and it speeds things up? hopefully out and about soon again, anyone else applied like me and how long did it take.
Hi @Just-a-old-guy, even though you knew this was coming, we understand it can still feel tough.

I have been told that I may continue driving but have decided not to. After over 25 years of driving and riding motorcycles, I have decided to leave it well alone.
Hi, I understand how you feel, it was getting painful for me, unless it was a short journey so I was relieved really, thanks for the reply..
