    If a med pro says don't drive and you ignore that advice you're not insured.

    I am on a lot of medication. I'm stressed atm. Today I don't care about the pip. It's exhausting and is making me unwell. Oh the irony.

    Reference to driving its worth remembering that if you are applying for pip and you are arguing your case that you can't remember things, concentrate and you actually do have some cognitive / memory impairment- you can include your revoked license in the evidence.
    My personal opinion here is that people shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car if they are writing that on their forms and my assessor asked that question.
    I'm barely safe on the pavement!! A definite God no!!.

    Whistles, Victoriad,zoro, 
    thanks, the main issue is anxiety which causes involuntary body movements/uncontrollable twitching and not sleeping.
    im not so bad in the mornings but haven’t driven myself for months.
    i will ask my doctor tomorrow.

    i definitely would not drive if I was told not too.

    have to wait and see

    thanks all

    I had very violent twitching but because of the tumours on my spinal cord.
    Gabapentin stopped it dead within a week.
    Maybe it could help?

    Thanks @whistles
    Never entered my mind to mention revoked driving licence....totally forgot to mention it in fact......you are a genius......a definite god?  Maybe ? ;) after your latest revelation regarding mention of revoked liscence on PiP

    From Mars.  :) 
    But it might help because the DVLA wouldn't take it off you for no good reason.

    That's Lancashire. It's actually an app that you activate for updates.
    It reads it out as it's said, not that far removed from the police emails you can sign up to, you just read them yourself.

    And you can report crime over it meaning it can hear you.
    That's just a story about Lancashire police.
    It'll be happening everywhere.
    We live in a surveillance society and that's all I'm trying to point out.
    We also happen to live (uk) in the most surveilled country on the planet so yes people should be concerned and informed so they can act appropriately.

    So the moral of the story is DONT use this technology
    DONT buy this technology
    DONT buy into the whole MUST HAVE this technology
    This also applies to SMART TV sets too and also applies to the settings on your mobile phone.

    Bit over the top.

    It can hear you whilst you press the app. No more than a smart phone can track your movement on the gps or Google can suggest items for sale based on your search terms. 
    We are already the world's most watched country. Cctv everywhere.
    If you use any tech you are monitored because the developer wants feedback on how the product is working/ not working.

    I don't need all these gadgets. I can see how they would assist some. But if you are a capable person that can move and think for yourself, I would continue to so.
    The brain will slow down if it's not used. Gadgets that do your thinking is a no go unless I really can't survive.
