When I applied to carry on with being able to drive up to 7.5,but giving up my HGV entitlement,it took so long(over 4 months) and I had to jump through so many hoops,I gave up and just applied for the restricted licence,I had a medical, eyesight test signed by optician,had to prove twice daily testing for diabetes type two,had to prove recent scan for AAA,the final straw was having to go for an ECG(never had heart problems)needed to do this every three years so said stuff it,can now apply to renew my restricted licence online with no problems.

Four months is good! When I renewed my PCV licence a couple of years back it took nearly a year. I was only about 3 weeks away from having to renew it again. I'd had suspected heart problems a couple of years previously, and been sent for an angiogram which came back fine. It was just the fact that I had been sent for the test that did it, they didn't seem interested in the result on the form. Letters went back and forth between the DVLA, my GP, and the Cardiologist, and I had to go for a stress-echo test, but the silly thing is that in all this time I was able to keep driving. Suppose I did have a problem!
When I did eventually get my licence back they had renewed my PCV for a further year and my car licence for 3 years, including my C1 licence which now runs out in 2022. I have just got another form yesterday to renew my PCV licence which actually ran out on 4th. Not sure whether to bother as I can't carry more than 8 passengers without a CPC anyway.
------------- Best Regards,
Colin
