I lost my licence 11 years ago. Now back in the UK and have my medical on 12/9/11. I do drink and have done for the past 11 years.

Not heavily but socially. I am so scared I will fail. Has anyone passed recently or does anyone know if I can appeal if I fail. It has been 11 years after all!!

You have the right to appeal if you fail the DVLA medical and you will be sent a notice in that regard.

The medical test is done to find out evidence of alcohol abuse. Now that's something which varies from person to person and although you might be drinking small amounts, it is difficult to guess how that's affected your liver.

There are some good suggestions on the following question : http://answers.fancyacar.co.uk/how-to-pa...

Have a read through it as it might help you and let us know how your test went; only 4 more days to go right? Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I have done so much internet research on the medical, I believe that is what has made me go into panic mode! I'm hoping 6 weddings, getting engaged and a 2 week holiday this year won't jeopardise my chances of passing!! I will keep you posted. Fingers crossed for Monday.
