Playing devils advocate here but, does everyone on this forum really finger prick every time before driving ? Doubt it and I doubt anyone will admit not to.
I do. You may get away with it many times but if you are involved in a crash etc, you will be expected to prove you have adhered to the requirements of your driving licence. The driving licence restriction is a lawful requirement and when you take that risk you are not driving in accordance with your licence and won't be insured either. I don't want to sound holier than thou but it's just not worth not doing it, I have seen the aftermath. Don't forget, the DVLA will also have an 'ailment' record attached to your details so you can't hide it. Also, the last thing you want if you have an accident is not to be able to prove that your glucose levels had nothing to do with it. No test equals a strong suspicion 'your glucose levels might well have contributed to it' (even if you know they didn't). Lastly, would anyone drive with no insurance and take that risk because essentially that is what you are doing if you don't stick to the legislation on a restricted licence, Sermon over.
