Driving rules and regulations

[chemicaljock]

A quick question...

what are the rules and regulations regarding haveing a hypoglycemic-fit and driving? As I have recently experienced a sezuire and I am unsure wheather I will have to surrender licience?

You need to inform DVLA of any disabling hypoglycaemia, ie that which requires the intervention of another person, and any change in your awareness of the onset of such episodes. You might be OK with just one bad hypo, provided you have the support of the doctor in charge of your diabetes (I was), as DVLA will initially make enquiries via this individual. But any more than one in the space of 12 months and you might not be so lucky.

Just thought too, you mentioned having a seizure, was this definitely as part of a hypo (ie fitting) or related to something else?
