As it got kinda lost in another thread I am posting this because I am genuinely interested:
How does 'individual assessment' work, does this involve a doctors report or is it just question and answer?
I believe DVLA require a doctors report on your hypo awareness, but is this done and who pays for it, does it actually happen.
Obviously any system is going to be open to abuse, but currently I do feel the majority of us are being unfairly victimised for our diabetes, in terms of driving licence. I however would like to know that there was a system in place to ensure that those on the road (especially in large vehicles and Public service transport) had their condition under control.
