A year and 5 month off driving
Well briefly I've had a year and 5 month off driving. Not going into detail as I've covered everything on a forum. In July last year I was in a serious car accident. Don't remember it but no other memory loss. Very lucky to be alive let alone me full recovery like I have. Sadly I lost my dog in the accident took a few month to come to terms with it. I was brought another pup from my nan who has helped me no end and as my nan sadly died this year so the new dog means extra to me now.
Right back to driving part. Had to inform DVLA about the accident and was warned for the first year I had increased risk of having seizures. Didn't need to mention that part to DVLA as I hadn't had any and still haven't. The DVLA took ages between each letter checking medical info and eventually decided I had to have an eye test which I passed. I'm still waiting for my licence back which was kept when I sent it for new photo but have been told I am ok to drive again. My last car was wrote off so I have been looking round for another and today found a 3 door punto which I am getting on Monday.
I will still take my new dog in car when going somewhere for a walk but he will have a harness on every time. I don't feel at all nervous about driving again maybe I will when the time comes. I'm letting someone who I know who can drive sit with me on Monday while I drive for first time since the accident. Them on Tuesday will be taking my mum and dog to a lake for a walk.
