After Deb had her stroke,she dearly wanted to drive again.
It took quite a few tense arguments but reality finally sunk in.She recently didn't renew her drivers licence.Hasnt driven since the stroke,I don't believe she can think quickly enough when needed to.

the system is funny.
i know a bloke in his 70's who had a stroke. they took away his MR licence and give him a LR licence instead. madness.
Only a few more sleeps JC, then you can meet me in person. I promise to give you a big hug and make it all better! (everything will seem better if I am not hugging you!).

All because a trucks indicators didn't work.

He had a seizure driving home and hit another vehicle,driven by an off duty police woman,she had just picked her two children.
One didn't survive the accident,the other was very badly injured.
The chef got 5yrs jail.
Doesn't really help the innocent people that had their lives changed for ever,but i suppose it is what he deserved.
Hi Justin, sorry to hear you are feeling the pain.
i followed a guy through Kingston months ago who just put of site of me plowed through the roundabout outside my kids school. Knocked down a quite big sign. I didn't get his rego cause too far away but I went back down to have a look after picking up my boy, got his rego before he drove off. I asked he other people standing there, including 2 council workers, if anyone had called the cops, no one even had thought too! I said I would because I had seem him do some other vague things like almost drive off a straight bit of the highway. The police lady said they'd give him a visit, sad when people get to that point in life but it sure as anything is NOT worth risking anyone else's life so they can have 'independence'. There are other ways to get around.

The 85 year old father in law just had his compulsory driving test and passed easily, so he's happy.
