[QUOTE="keefyboyuk, post: 317055, member: 35247"] Hadders I really do feel sorry for you mate, but I can understand their reasons to an extent, just because you had Hypos overnight does not mean that you can't have them during the day, and they are looking at the very worst situation that could arise, that you suddenly go into a Hypo. This doesn't mean to say I agree with them at all. I have type 2 and have not had a Hypo for many many months then all of a sudden a few weeks back I suddenly had one come on without any warning at all, I normally get indicators that one is coming on, I get cold, shivery, sleepy but this time it didn't happen at all, nothing indicated I was hypo'ing at all. I know exactly how you feel in a sense, I had to give up my licence because of slow reaction times caused by all the meds I have to take. I was devastated, driving was my life, I loved it and now nothing....... I also feel that DVLA have not publicised this enough at all, and I certainly have not known about it until a few months back. Another of these B**DY EU laws they "have to impose on us". You can take it to court and fight it but be warned they could well uphold in DVLA's favour because you had the Hypos and you would have to pay their costs as well as your own costs and that would not be cheap.Under this new law they don' t care whether it was day or night, you had them, and that was enough for them to withdraw your licence. In future I would suggest that if your other half completes forms for you for anything, then YOU check them before they are sent, and don't please blame her, she was only doing what she thought was right for you. It was a little short sighted of you to not check it, but it is too late, it has happened. Also when you make a call to DVLA they call up your records and put a note on that you rang and roughly what it was about, so saying you made a mistake will ring alarm bells, and ALL their calls are recorded. I wish you the very best mate I hope you can sort something out but be very careful if you do decide to appeal it, if you take it to court and tell a little white lie it is classed as Purgery and you can be convicted of it.
