My ban was reduced to 9 months and I need to have a medical, what will it consist of and what will they test me for?

Tom,
The DVLA drink driving medical test consists of the following:
A blood test
A medical interview with the doctor
A physical examination
A urine test
A blood sample will be used for Liver Function Tests and an abnormal result would indicate liver disorders.
The purpose of the medical interview is to find out whether you are a heavy drinker or not, so expect questions on your frequency of alcohol consumptions and the like.
For the physical examination, it will be the routine checks like prodding your abdomen, weighing you etc.
The urine test will only test for diabetes.
Hope this clears things regarding the driving ban for you.
