People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Hi everyone
Earlier today, I drove on to a grass verge and stopped my car just before a wire and post. Apparently according to the off duty fireman behind me I had been driving erratically. The off duty fireman stopped his car and came over to me in mine. He called an ambulance.
The paramedic came. I was still conscious, but had had a hypo.
The paramedic dealt with me and gave me two glocose gels, by which time the police arrived.
They told me they would inform the dvla, and I was not allowed to drive my car home. They would take me and my dogs home, and I could leave the car parked up where it was for somebody later to collect it.
I am now at home, and I haven't a clue whether I can still drive or not, or whether the police informing the dvla has stopped me from being allowed to drive immediately.
Has anybody else ever been in this position?
Do I notify the dvla that i had a hypo whilst driving, and that I had pulled over to the side of the road on a grass verge, but that somebody else had to help me?
Can I continue to drive, as I am not sure?
Will I lose my licence?
I have been diabetic 25 years type 1 and never had an episode like today ever, and I don't know where I stand. Can anybody help me?
