The guidance says you can continue to drive IF you meet a list of requirements. The words 'may be able to drive' are also mentioned. Your licence can't have been revoked for medical reasons.....hers was in May 2023!That note is on the end of the forms when you have to reapply for the licence when you already have it back. So for example they can give disqualified people their licence back for a limited time like 1 year or 3 years and you have to reapply each time. If you and the Dr agree that you are fit to drive you are allowed to continue whilst waiting for the new licence even if the old licence has expired if that makes sense?
One of the other requirements is the high risk offending. She was banned for drink driving once AND she refused to do a blood test so those 2 offences would make her a high risk offender.
So that's two of the requirements she didn't meet. She is talking balls and / or has lied to the lawyers too. It sounds like she has asked her Dr if she was fit to drive but ignored all the other requirements.
