[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1261366, member: 196898"] I am occasionally shocked by the number of times I have entered discussions on this forum where somebody is trying to justify bending the rules or looking for approval to ignore the requirements on the grounds that it is a stupid restriction on their liberty and against their rights. There was a heated argument put forward on a different forum when the DVLA recently changed the 2 hypos and out rule to allow us to discount hypo's when asleep. This was seen as being discriminating against diabetics, whereas it was actually in our favour. A friend of mine gets deep hypo's without warning, like the ignition switch turning off. The lights are on, but no one is at home. Eventually his GP reported hum as unfit to drive, and he got banned before he did serious damage. But he still thinks he was unfairly treated. Having had to scrape him up off the floor on several occasions, I do not agree with him. [/QUOTE]
