Purgamentum Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hi, I was a heavy smoker. I recently had my license revoked because my doctor told the dvla that I used cannabis. On this basis they revoked my license saying that I can only reapply after 6 months of abstinence. I have nearly done my 6 months and reapplied for my license. They have sent me a letter saying that I have to take a urine test. My question is does anyone know what the cut off level/threshold is for the test? Even after nearly 6 months abstinence I'm passing a home test (just) with a faint line on a 25ng test. I'm worried that the threshold will be lower than this and I won't get my license back despite not smoking for 6 months. Does anyone know what the limit is that they will test me on? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nl5 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I'm sure cannabis should be completely gone out your pee in 3 months. I passed a hair test after 4 months. They found tiny amount that was classed as passive. If you fail just tell them one of your friends you visit smokes it alot. Bit harsh having your licence revoked.. I accidently told doctor I smoked it aswel when I was quitting fags, he look at me funny the twat. E2a he ask me if I wanted to go to drug addiction clinic aswel Edited July 24, 2016 by nl5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoSevenNine Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Doctor squealed on you? Surely that's a breach of patient confidentiality? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 There is no doctor confidentiality anymore pal that was sailed off down yonder a year or so ago your medical notes are no longer private company's can ask to have your records.

Purgamentum Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 The whole thing is a joke. It all happened because I renewed my license and they asked about any medical conditions and so wrote to my doctor. I'm so pissed at him because he told them as like you say it's a breach of patient confidentiality. I need to book my test Monday and I'm going to be even more annoyed if I don't pass it despite not smoking. I can't find out what they use as a cut off level any where so I thought it would be worth a shot asking you guys. Honesty is never the best policy. I wish I had never even notified them that I had changed address as all I would have got is a fine and none of this would have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purgamentum Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 As I say I'm passing a 25ng urine test with a faint line so I'm worried that if the cut off is less than that I won't pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) The limit used to be zero before they introduced these new drug testing laws. I hope it has increased in line with the new guidelines. Edited July 24, 2016 by Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 So let me get this right , if you tell your doctor you use cannabis for whatever reason then they are free to share this information with the DVLA who can revoke your driving licence ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purgamentum Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 There are even comments online about people traveling to places where cannabis is totally legal the DVLA finding out and revoking their license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongskag Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 the DVLA must give the doctors a cut for each person they squeel on .. you have to pay the DVLA all the admin fee's when you reapply. I swear its a profit making organisation, like the way they auction off the best number plates to the rich twats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdedupity Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 If you told the doc you drank alcohol, would he inform the dvla? Cunts 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
