Hi everybody
This summer, I will have to go to a medical commission for driving licence. I have two conditions that require to go to this medical commission and I really fear they don't give my licence because of the meds I take for one of my condition.
What do you suggest me for not fearing this commission ? I fear to be scantily dressed in front of three GPs and in 20 minutes they judge if you are able or not to drive. In some cases you have a specialized exam (in my case psychiatric exam) and I fear that too.

Some ideas not to fear it ?

Another question, do you have a medical exam for your driving licence ?


Thanks for your answers

Hi, the best advice i would give you is, if you feel you are medically fit to drive, then dont sweat it. Just explain why you feel you are good to drive, how much you would love to drive ect and if you are in fact ok to drive i cant see them saying no. Theyre not as bad as you think.

Hi Little K
My doctor will make a letter to tell them I am well stabilized and that I am fit enough to drive. But I fear that despite this letter they tell me unable to drive.

Listen, you will never know unless you try, and if your doctor says yours ok to drive then really youve got nothing to worry about

Thanks Little K for your kind words. My doctor told me to wait until the summer to be sure that I am well stabilized. But I have to try, you're right.

well good luck to you whatever happens Im sure youll be fine, have faith in yourself x

Hi
I have a question and I won't open another thread for this question. Do you have any medical exam for driving licence in your country ? If yes, what do they check ?

I only had to fill in a form with a few questions about my medical history. If they could all be answered with "No" then it was ok, if not, further research would be necessary.
Luckily I could answer all questions with "No"

Oh yeah, during the driving exam (and sometimes during the lessons) I had to read a distant license plate to test my eyes.

edit: I live in the netherlands, so it's probably not the same as where you live...

I had to fill a form with questions and unfortunately I had answer YES at one of the questions.
I have to go back to this medical commission because I take meds who can be incompatible with driving

Couldnt you have lied? Just wondering
