| 1260011 | 2012-02-19 19:38:00 | First thing would be to see why she blacked out in the first place.She may have an unknown medical condition. If its not treatable, or likely to happen again then they would revoke her licence, since it would be unsafe for her to drive, as it could happen again. Saying shes a clown is a bit rough, especially since theres no reason given in the article as to why she blacked out for a few seconds. |

There must have been a reason for the blackout and this will have to be determined by a medical examination. She should not be allowed to drive in the meantime until she obtains a medical clearance. |

| 1260014 | 2012-02-19 20:17:00 | Like nowhere does she say I could have crashed into someone else and killed them. Its all about her. |

Any "blackout" for an unknown cause would get treated the same as epilepsy ie no driving until 12 months have passed free of seizures. She may have just dozed off, something that is more common than most people will admit. |

| 1260017 | 2012-02-19 22:23:00 | She wants to become a lawyer - a much more worrying thing than random crashes to inflict on the community. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||

I had a bad dehydration epiosode a few years back and fell flat on my face at home. I was carted off to Hospital and thoroughly checked over, then although my licence was not affected (vehicle incident not involved) and I have a pretty clean health record, I made the mistake of mentioning a head injury incurred during a vehicle accident back in the 1980's so I then had to go for an epilepsy exmination to make sure it wasn't an epileptic seizure or other brain damge artefact. I had to pass a brain wave pattern diagnostic test carried out under sedation with more electrodes attached than the mad professor, and even more flashing lights and strobes than you would see at a Presidential election campaign. Unless there is clear evidence of drugs or fatigue she will probably be put under the microscope before she is allowed back behind the wheel, and her insurance company will take a keen interest too, if they think they can get out of paying up for the vehicle. Even if they do pay up, if they have suspicions they will probably decline to offer cover for any future insurance applications. You just about have to emigrate to get away from that sort of problem.

As far as my vehicle insurance company is concerned there is no issue so long as I am following any instructions from my doctor and Land Transport have OK'd my license. |
