Yippee!

On Saturday, after 14 months since applying, I received my full British Driving Licence.

I have been driving in South Africa, as I had an SA and Zimbabwe Licence, but asi am now in UK, I had to try and change it!

I went through all the medical channels, as I didn't want to hide my TBI, and many letters have gone back and forth!

At last I have it!

Congratulations although I was allowed to drive it was clearly not safe so I only ventured back behind the wheel when i was generally feeling better and coping with life. I was very nervous and only did local trips at first and during the day then gradually got bolder until I am fully back now. It is fantastic to be able to drive again. Enjoy the freedom Debs πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—πŸš—
