Please tell me I wasn't the only one that read BMI and thought everyone was talking about that well known carrier!

... anyway, to more serious matters!

I booked my class 1 med this week, and have now received the conf. letter from CAA HQ. In the docs, there is a brief rundown of what to expect. Now, under the eye test part it says, (quote) "As part of the eye examination, drops may be used to blur the vission. Although this should improve prior to your departure, you must not drive for 12 hours following this in the interest of safety"

This is a bit of a bummer, as I was planning to depart in fashion rather similar to that in which I intended to arrived - In my car.

So the q is, what are the chances of them doing this blury blury thing, and will I have to con my old man into driving me to Gatters, sitting in the car for a few hours, then driving a bleary eyed me home?

Probably a silly question, but hey, you've got to be good at something. Thanks in advance!
