Driving Licence Medical Appeals

We may think that our right to drive is a given, but a driving licence is no more than a permission to drive. That permission can be taken away by the Department for Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) when there are grounds to do so.

 

If you’ve had your driving licence revoked, or if your driving licence application has been refused, we can help you.  

Expert legal support for DVLA appeals

We specialise in assisting individuals navigate the complex process of appealing a DVLA decision to revoke a driving licence or to refuse a driving licence application on medical grounds.

We stay up to date on how an individual’s fitness to drive is assessed and when an individual should or shouldn’t be deemed fit to drive. This means the advice we give you on whether you can challenge the DVLA decision in your case will be correct. 

Time is of the essence when it comes to appealing DVLA decisions. Contact our team to start your appeal.
