Hello, hopefully people here can help me. My father now 73 has finally seen the light and decided to get a motorhome, and join us on holidays.
However, turns out when he renewed his license he had no idea about categories that might be lost. They have now finally found a van they love, gone and put a deposit down only to find HE doesn't have C1 class which he did before turning 70.
Now i doubt he is the first to come across this, but sadly DVLA was not very helpful and sent him a HUGE pile of application forms, which make no sense at all. He is in perfect health, and drives regularly on a part time basis delivering cars.
Can anyone help me with WHICH forms he requires, and IF this entitlement can be regained without him having to do a driving course. The lost deposit is one thing, but the thought of them having their dreams of holiday away being shattered is far bigger loss and wish to do everything i can to help.
Any advice would be gratefully welcome
Stuart
