[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1262490, member: 32394"] Amazing actions from the police officer, very rightly being recognised for actual heroics. There's nothing to suggest that the driver hadn't followed the DVLA guidelines though. Given the seriousness of the incident I would have thought there was probably at least a bit of check of the monitor to see if she had tested before driving. The guidelines are a perfectly reasonable sensible proportionate safety net, designed to protect everyone and should definitely be taken seriously and complied with (that's coming from someone who has surrendered her driving licence because I haven't any hypo awareness) unfortunately sometimes even when you follow all the guidelines, things can fall through the net and it is possible to drop super low super quick even if that's never happened before, there is a very low risk of that happening, but it is possible. It seems unfair to assume she must have been in the wrong & not following the guidelines appropriately - must have been absolutely terrifying for her to realise what had happened with her baby in the car. I hope anyone who watches it does take away the importance of making sure guidelines are followed and you've got that safety net in place every time you drive.
