I believe we are in agreement. "super low odds" and "unlikely" mean the same thing. But those odds are not zero - which was my point. It was also an example, you can substitute that example with heart attack/sneezing fit/swerving for an animal/whatever takes your fancy. Roads are a dangerous place.

Roads can be a dangerous place, but beer gardens shouldn't be.

No arguments with that. But the question posed wasn't "should beer gardens be located on the side of a road with no bollards?", rather 'should diabetics be allowed to drive?'.

I think it's clear this particular diabetic wasn't managing their condition.
