[QUOTE="grh1904, post: 187655, member: 898"] Thanks for the replies chaps, just to clarify: - I for one have very little or no intention of applying to become an Advanced driver, it's not the career path I want, I'm more "crime" orientated and get a much greater buzz when I get someone sent down for crimes that really do blight peoples lives. (Goy a gut 2 years for a series of dwelling house burglaries). I only posted my views on the subject of Police advanced driving becasue it seemed relevant to what was being discussed on the thread & to highlight that there are BIG differences between forces. I also posted my comment about me "potentially" being able to become a Class 1 driver to highlight that my force now seem to have embraced the DDA & recognised that (despite you may not want to hear of a T1 diabetic doing pursuits for the obvious reasons you highlighted on) technically they can't stop anyone who is T1 diabetic from applying - as to do so would be discriminatory. From my personal point of view I am happy that if I did want to apply I would & could be considered - i.e. my diabetes won't prevent me from having a career, I could apply for promotions if I want etc. The point I'm trying to allude to is that when first diagnosed I was almost told to resign, it was strongly hinted at (by a doctor no less!!!), that they'll find me a desk to sit behind but I should use this time to update my CV!!!!!!!!, the point now being that the aged dinosaur of a doctor is no longer used by my force as an occupational health practitioner and the one that is appears to be more modern thinking & up to date. Anyway (slight de-rail of thread coming up......... .....................) hopefully if my career plans come to fruition then my days in a uniform won't be too long as it's Coppers In Disguise, or Clever In Drink for me.............................................. :lol: :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
