Doctors and the DVLA! plenty can go wrong. One of the times I had to have a medical to renew my HGV licence I got in touch with my Doctors and arranged it. Normally I would go to the doctor that the company I worked for reccomended as he was £75 cheaper but I couldn't get in touch with him

, any way long story short had the medical passed, sent form off to the DVLA job done,not. A few days later I was driving the truck back from Newcastle to a freightliner yard in Doncaster when my wife phoned to say "you have a letter from the DVLA" me " Oh! have they sent me a new licence?" " No they've taken your HGV licence away" me "as of when and why" "As of now because you failed the medical it seems the dozy old git(or words to that effect) has filled the form in incorrectly and you are no longer qualified to drive Heavy goods" I phoned my manager and explained the situation he said bring it back here and park it up and get it sorted.
First thing in the morning I was at the Dr's surgery and explained what had happened to the receptionist and gave her a form the DVLA had sent me and told her I have no income until this is sorted, she took it to the doctor and asked me to wait in reception, as I was waiting he walked past me didn't even acknowledge me let alone apologise, the receptionist did though. It took two weeks to sort out so I had paid a £100 for the medical and lost two weeks wages.Happy days grrrr.
