Hi nutty - I have similar restrictions due to medication: I only have a one year licence now (renewable if my condition remains stable). It's a bit of a pisser really - I had some very cool categories on my licence (minibus, 3.5 tonne truck with trailer, that sort of thing) that got retracted too. I have never caused an accident in 12 years of driving. And they took away my lovely Norn Iron licence too and made me have an auld UK one instead, gah!
