well my friends I hope its going better for you than me,, well having bought my dream car driving round for 3 weeks sensibly not a beer in sight , I got totally blinded by the sun next thing you no im in hospital with severe concusion, wasn't speeding the policeman new that just couldn't see the corner , car rolled twice total right off , I managed to punch my way through the back window to get out by instinct ,I don't remember it at all then just collapsed in the middle of the rd the amount of money ive lost is a gut wrencher, but my main worry is this is gunna look great at my medical, iwasnt drowsy from my meds in fact I was driving far better than before I got banned, im gunna get a statement from the policeman who said I didn't have a chance. I now don't think ive got a hope in hell of passing the medical im devastated about the car, and I reckon I would have passed the medical easy now I cant see it , why cant I get a break in life the last 7 years have been a disaster, I was driving around under a tempory licence my anxiety is back in a big way im a bundle of nerves got loads of work waiting to me but cant get to it im totally broken

Be positive sometimes these medicals seem worse than they actually are. I have to go through a medical every year for my job and I always panic before hand and worry that they will sack me for being a nervous physical wreck but I get through them.
I had a car crash when I was 18 and was seriously injured and lost all my money as insurance was only third party, when I was better I had to cycle every where and ended up quite fit and healthy.
Try to imagine you are just visiting your GP and its all routine you are stronger than you realise and you will better soon like you were before.

Good Luck..
