Worth commenting on the typical hyperbole...
"Imagine what this will do to diabetics. It means they will stop phoning for help and they might die. It’s horrendous"
Basically she had to declare two severe hypoglycemic attacks, which were in her sleep, and this means she loses her licence. She seems to thinkm that a diabetic will suffer a similar attack, and then not phone for an ambulance or whatever because what will be going through their head is 'oh, I might have to hand my driving licence in.' Because of course a driving licence is worth dying for... I do hope she was misquoted.

Yes, she could have been a foot closer to the hedge. Disgrace.

Not much sympathy for her in the comments...

On the plus side somebody has mentioned cyclists on the pavement - not in the negative sense I should add - so we should get a nice 2-for-1 set of arguments going.

I actually do have sympathy for her predicament, but if there's a chance of her going hypoglycemic behind the wheel it's safer for everyone (including her son and parents who rely on her for transport) if she's not behind the wheel.
Without knowing just where she transports them from and to and at what times it's impossible to offer any genuine alternatives....
