i don't think so, I started 15years ago and was not driving at the time. I passed my test after about a year of starting then done the Royal Mail driving test about a year/two years after that

A 'blameworthy' road traffic accident would probably be your best chance coming off driving duties. :thumbup :crazy:
Or surrendering your license to the DVLA. :cuppa

I went from a driving duty (a few years back) to a cycle duty. They kept swapping me to a driving duty because they where short of drivers and said I couldn't come off of driving. After a couple of months they started to do the annual driving licence check. Guess who never brought his licence in and was removed from driving and put back on the walk he signed for?
