Here&rsquo;s some clarification for you&hellip;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMedical circumstances often affect our ability to drive and, in the interests of your safety and the safety of other road users, you may have your licenced suspended until you&rsquo;re deemed well enough to drive.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe good news is you won&rsquo;t have to re-take your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/book\/skip\">driving theory test<\/a>, however, you will be required to re-apply for your driving licence.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt&rsquo;s nothing personal when you have your driving licence suspended due to a medical condition, it&rsquo;s to protect you and other road users. You do at least avoid the stress of having to take the theory test again and re-applying for your driving licence is simple.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>How Will You Know If Your Licence Has Been Suspended?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe DVSA will issue you with a letter when your licence is being suspended or removed. If you have already re-applied you will receive a letter notifying you if your application has been successful.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThis letter will inform you that there is a period of time that you have to wait before you can apply again. The official DVSA website says that you can re-apply 8 weeks before the end of this period.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tYou&rsquo;re advised to consult your doctor before you submit a re-application for your driving licence to ensure that you meet the required medical standards to be able to operate a vehicle again following your illness.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn order to re-apply for your car or motorcycle licence, you&rsquo;re required to complete a D1 application form and enclose a form regarding your medical condition. You will then need to submit these forms to the DVSA. You may also be required to send further evidence highlighting your fitness to drive.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTo re-apply for a bus, coach or lorry licence you need to send a completed D2 form, and the supporting medical condition form, to the DVSA.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tPlease note, with regards to bus, coach or lorry licences, if you&rsquo;re aged between 45 and 65 you will also need to submit a D4 form (if you haven&rsquo;t done so in the past 5 years) and send it to the DVSA along with your D2 form. Again, along with your D2 form, you may also be asked to send evidence of your fitness to drive.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFrom the age of 65, it&rsquo;s compulsory for you to renew your licence every 12 months, and when applying your application must have a completed D4 medical report form enclosed.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>Ready to book your theory test?<\/strong> Make an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booktheorytesttoday.com\/practical_new\/page1.php?page=practical\">online driving test booking<\/a> or theory test appointment with us, today and take advantage of our three free retests scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBook Theory Test Today offers an intermediary service assisting clients with booking a UK theory test, or practical test, at test centres across the nation.
