What the petition asks
I would like people to sign this petition to call on the Government to increase the speed of the DVLA process for considering applications for a driving licence following a medical condition. Many people are experiencing enormous delays to get their license back after a medical suspension.
I had my licence taken away for 12 months from 1st February 23 and 15 months later and after many calls, emails etc with the DVLA still nothing seems to be happening.
I have decided to form this petition because it appears that there are many drivers in the same position as me.
