Hello
One of the my mates who works for me, his HGV license expires mid of may. He’s done medical, which is all clear. If the license is not renewed by 15/05/2022, can he still drive under section 88?
Thanks in advance

So long as the application is with DVLA, send it recorded then you have proof it was sent and received

Also worth remembering that if the DVLA return it (i.e. if something is filled in wrong) section 88 doesn't apply whilst they don't have it

Absolutely, he just needs to meet the S88 criteria which you will find here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... f188x6-can...

Thank you all
He Just received an email confirmation from DVLA saying that as long as doctor declared him fit, he can drive.
And the applications are taking upto 6 weeks for processing.
