Hi guys.
Bit of a setback today. My GP has informed the DVLA that I shouldn't really have a driving licence at the moment. I had been suffering anxiety related falls and blackouts.
Got a letter this morning advising me it had been revoked and asking me to return the paper counterpart and if I attempt to drive I am liable for prosecution which is fair enough.
So they've suggested I ask for a free bus pass but I'm really wary in that
A) I get panicky on buses
B) I'll feel so badly judged using a free pass and it'll add to my anxiety (stupid I know but still)
So my only other option is a taxi or relying on friends/family which isn't me.
It's just really crummy! I wish my GP had discussed this with me first as it came through without warning.
