    Driving under section 88

    It's annoying, when I applied 3 years ago they didn't get my licence processed in time, the excuse was a backlog due to covid, I don't know what the problem is this time. I didn't drive at all last time as I could get a lift to work but that's not the case now

    My wife had to call paramedics out to me after losing consciousness during a night time hypo, after giving me a glucose injection I started to come round gradually, they then tried to get me to drink some milk with sugar mixed in which I spat back all over them.
