louisiana Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Does anybody have any experience of surrendering a driving licence? (medical grounds)Apparently surrendering may be better than revoking, for the driver, but I can find nothing about the whys and wherefores on official websites (and much of DVLA website seems to point to other websites).

PeckhamRose Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 A good question.Another question leading on from it is - I know my Dad should not be driving, but without a car he and my Mum would be stuffed. I know he never goes far but do I 'tell' on him? Were any of the websites DVLA suggested any use?

Michael Palaeologus Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I guess you can surrender your driving licence at any time and not give a reason - thus there would be nothing on record as to why.

Siduhe Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Did you see this page? Seems pretty comprehensive on why it's better to surrender (no medical enquiries and if you later decide to reapply, you can drive whilst re-applying for a new licence, if you meet the medical standards). If your licence is revoked, you would have to wait until a new application to drive was approved. There are also a few how to pages at the bottom.http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/motoring/driverlicensing/medicalrulesfordrivers/dg_4022414 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11072-drivers-licence-surrender-or-revoked/#findComment-319194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisiana Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Ah, that seems helpful.How strange that it's not on DVLA site (which oddly comes very very low on search engines).Good point MP.
