Thank you for this. I was mistakenly under the impression that it was not possible to raise these concerns with DVLA anonymously.
replyDo you know what the process that follows this looks like? Are they just asked to self-certify again? Are they told that someone has reported them (even if they aren't told who it was)?
From memory, and from the one time I did it about three years ago: they get a letter saying that the DVLA has reason to believe that they are unfit to drive and that they must pass a medical examination in order to keep their licence. I don't believe the letter says that they've been reported.
replyAnd to be clear: when I said "anonymously" I meant from the pov of the person being reported. The DVLA requires some basic details of the person making the report, but they're definitely not disclosed to the subject.
What happens after this? Even if they lose their license, what happens to their vehicles? I ask in the context that many people drive without licenses.
replyThankfully, the government doesn't steal a car away from a person who is unfit to drive cars yet.
