How
does one know when to give up driving? It's a difficult question and a hard
call to make. No one wants to lose their independence, but the thought of causing an
accident, and hurting someone, makes me stop and seriously question my competence
and ability. I stopped driving at night two years ago, and now only drive short
distances within our little village. I have a feeling that my driving days are
numbered, and it won't be long before I hand over my car keys. When one's judgment
and reactions aren't as quick as they should be, and distance perception is
impaired, I think it's time to call it a day. My life is changing, and I have
to accept the fact. We all have to face things in life that we'd rather not,
but when it comes to safety - there is nothing to debate.
