Transient Ischemic Attack And Driving

[The_DADDY 3,475]

As I understand it, if somone has a Transient ischemic attack you have to stop driving until it's sorted.

But what happens after? 

When cleared by your doctor do you just get your license back or are their certain hoops to jump through?

I don't think it's advisable to start jumping through hoops after a Transient ischemic attack.

Could be anywhere as they are transient.

Any chance of some serious replies?

Pretty straight forward really. If they were told not to drive by their doctor for X amount of weeks or whatever, but didn't  have to surrender their licence, then they can continue to drive as soon as the doctor says so (Provided the licence hasn't expired by natural means)

 

If they did have to surrender their licence, they will have to apply for another one. This would have to be done by forms via post. This could take a while as there is a massive backlog at the DVLA for postal applications, Possibly months.
