An investigation by the Department for Transport has discovered that over 20 years drivers have been wrongly charged for medical examinations
So far over 3,000 motorists have been wrongly charged a £90 fee for the medical examination when they come to apply to the DVLA to get their licence back. Under a certain set of circumstances in cases where a driver has been disqualified from driving, specifically due to drink driving, current UK law doesn’t allow for this fee to be charged to the person applying for their licence.
