Thanks, both.
Her doctor has been treating her for years and is fully aware of her ailments, which are mainly mobility related. Also, her eyesight is good and the optician confirms she meets the legal driving requirements, with spectacles.
Incidentally, is the onus on the patient to put the question, ' Am I still fit to drive ?' to the doctor, or on the doctor to tell the patient they are no longer fit to drive a motor vehicle ?
The GP has never made any reference regarding her ability to drive so is it safe to assume the status quo stands unless/ until the GP officially declares otherwise ?
Has any doctor ever said to you, 'Oh, by the way, you are fit to drive' ? when you've complained of a boil on your bum, as apparently required by the DVLA requirement you quote.
I am over eighty, fairly recent IAM, but with Cancer etc and my GP has never used the words ' You are fit to drive' Hence, an assumption is made, as with your painful bum !
Cheers.
