[QUOTE="Diabeticliberty, post: 1599665"] Same happened to me when I crashed on a motorway while driving in the outside lane at the grand old speed of 22 miles per hour. I still managed to write my car off and almost killed myself. The copper reported me to Swansea and they suspended my license. I almost lost it but after asking a consultant to draft me a begging letter he very kindly did and 3 weeks later they relented. I would have lost my job which was really bad but a damned sight better than losing my life or taking someone elses which I quite easily could have done. I had to send them my blood tester with a full history of blood glucose test results. Had I not done so then I would have lost my license. They do not take any prisoners and they simply do not listen to any explanation that isn't provided by a very senior doctor. That was at least in my own experience. I would add that the policeman came and saw me at home the following day. He was on a days holiday but drove 100 miles there and back to make sure I was ok. What an absolute gentleman. [/QUOTE]
