6 months i believe.

I don't remember now exactly, either 6 months or a year. I think 6 months. We had to give our license in for that time

Hi - I was advised 6 months but tbh did not feel comfortable driving until about 8 months later. I was advised not to inform DVLA as they take your licence and it is a real admin pain getting them to re-instate it - that advice was from a specialist at the hospital!
