bus driving

[chevpol]

I have just been told by a friend who is a bus driver same as me, that as I am a level 2, I cannot work nights, does anybody know if this is true or not?

Mark,

I'm afraid that's going to depend entirely on the terms of your contract of employment. There's no reason for any diabetic not to drive at night to be honest. If you are prescribed blood sugar lowering medications such as insulin or gliclizide then the DVLA need to know about it and your licence would be restricted to a 3 year term, as mine is.

I'd check this out with your line manager if I were you.

All the best,

fergus

Depending on how your diabetes is treated you may also not be allowed to drive a PSV. Check out this link:-

Sounds like your mate's bumming his load to be honest.
