Gutted -Driving Ban

[Jonnysnapzzz]

After a “funny turn” and 2 nights in the hospital I’ve been told I can’t drive for 6 months. Gutted.
I suppose the positive is that it’s winter and the Z3 is going into hibernation but it still feels pretty s***. :-(

That's crap mate. I had a similar affair a couple of months ago. They revoked my HGV but let me hold on to my car licence.
Got it back now after further tests. Hope its nothing serious.

I had a funny do a couple of Xmas' ago, its was documented on here, basically my wife found me on the bathroom floor, I was bradicardic and my pulse was 18, it took the paramedics 30 to stablize me before they could take me to hospital, I have never had any health issues at all and actually thought it was the end, the Dr that see me at first siad he would have to inform DVLA as I had blacked out, then changed his mind and decided that it was a condition called syncope, basically when we go for a we our body has to relax and mine just went to far, its very common in men.

Thanks, I don’t really know yet, just time will tell. Had about 3 weird seizures on Saturday morning and a stay in hospital for the trouble. Tests look clear and it may be one of those things that happen to a 45 year old after a boozy night but it could be something more.
Only time will Tell

Hey @Jonnysnapzzz pretty good timing with the Zed hibernating and all but I hope it proves to nothing serious mate. Wishing you all the best.

Tony.

Looking on the bright side at least you won't miss a good summer of Zedding. Hope it's nothing too serious and you can be back to driving in April 2019. Best of luck

 

[DavidM]

Hope you get back to full fitness very soon!

My next door neighbour is just going through the same thing. He had a funny turn and fell down some stairs in a cafe, paramedics then hospital for a couple of days. Next thing he has to hand in his driving licence. His own doctor sent letter to appeal, didn't do any good, still got about 2 months to go.
I've told him if he needs any assistance for anything just to let me know.
Hope all goes well with you and that it isn't too serious.

 

[PHILIP BAXTER]

Hope it's nothing too serious and you are back behind the wheel next year. Take it easy @Jonnysnapzzz

 

[Mazza]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I have been getting a problem with my left knee.....self inflicted as I play walking football, but I have a cure...
Change my 1.9 manual for a 2.8 automatic

 

[Dalek]

Been there... Hope it is not too serious and you get back to drivng your zed soon. Stay positive!

 

[t-tony]

I wasn't allowed to drive for at least 3 months after heart surgery 10 years ago now and It was a long 3 months but eventually I got behind the wheel again with another 4 weeks before I went back to work.

Get well soon.

 

[g8jka]

I had around 6 months away from driving a couple of years ago due to illness, spent 3 of them in hospital so at least I was away from the zed so didn't miss it too much. Not long after getting back in the zed I bought another so at least some good came from it.

It will soon pass and at least it's coming into winter. I'm sure you would rather have 6 months away from driving and have your health as it should be though. Get well soon

 

[Lazzzydog]

Had similar myself a few years ago, good luck with your recovery. A positive attitude really does help.

 

[Jack Ratt]

Good luck and take heed of the advice your doctors give you. Anyway, 6 months out of the car will go infinitely quicker than the 6 weeks "out of the saddle" after a newborn baby, especially considering the threats to your well being from the other half for even being in the same building without your keks on
