A DRIVER WHO had his HGV licence revoked for 10 years after he was prescribed an anti-epilepsy drug following a fall from his wagon has gone back to work after his car licence was returned.
Chris Perrin slipped off the side of his truck in March, fracturing his skull and damaging his shoulder and ribs.
He contacted CM last month after the DVLA told him that since he had been prescribed Phenytoin to prevent seizures, he could not drive an HGV for 10 years (Driver on epilepsy drug appeals licence ban', CM 26 June).
At the time, his car licence was under review, but this has now been given back to him and he returned to work at Palletworks last week.
"I've been assessed by my manager and he is happy with my driving standards. While I will start off driving vans, I hope to be driving 7.5-tonners in a couple of months."
Perrin adds: "My manager says that if my driving is still to the same standard in three months' time, we should look at the options for challenging the DVLAs decision."
