Mister M Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 No, someone may choose not to drive because they are on tablets that mean they can't or shouldn't drive - I'm thinking of things like sedatives or tranquilisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S10mainly Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Mental Health and Mental Incapacity are not the same thing. Why not ask a slightly more specific question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottedplant Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Is this question being asked to collect more evidence with regard to your compensation (of millions ) claim? if it is you would be better asking a solicitor how your inability to drive affects it.

AWOL Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I know someone who had his driving licence taken away from him at 60. He had diabetes and had been injecting from an early age. The authorities told him that he was expected to be dead by his sixtieth birthday and that they could not allow him to drive any longer as they did not have any data on people in his condition driving beyond that age.

tinfoilhat Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 means the person has mental incapacity? No it could be to narcolepsy, epilepsy, medication, loss of sight, loads of things really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 So would the example above mean the person has mental incapacity? Not usually, but there are so many conditions covered that I would imagine there are as many answers to your question as there are people who have had a driving licence removed for those reasons. You need to be talking to a specialist solicitor or the DVLA with some far more specific information to work all of this out. Please don't post specifics on here, especially if that could affect the outcome of whatever compensation claim this makes a part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
