Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

I realise that a lot of members will disagree but I actually think that it is a reasonable assumption that it shows good concentration, that said, it requires context, when I still drove, raising my concentration to a level where it was safe for me to drive would leave me ill for days afterwards and incapable of doing my normal daily activities.
So think about the impact of your driving, for example; does the driving mean that you cannot concentrate on other things. Is your concentration actually important to your e=being able to score?

Hi Lisa,
This went against me too, initially. When I appealed extra evidence, including a letter from my GP worked, I won my MR.
I drive short familiar distances, but I daren't attempt to do this on my own and won't go anywhere I don't know.
As long as someone is with me and I stick to this I am OK but it takes it out of me and my concentration goes with anything else I have to do once parked and I have to sit for a bit and re-think 'what next', so to speak.
I hope this is of some help.
