There are many reasons I gave up driving, my crappy eyesight is one. There is also slow reaction time, less strength, and inability to turn my head. I know that the roads are filled with people like me who really shouldn't be driving for their sakes and others. Often when I visit places and am asked if I parked and point out my decrepitude, I ask as they see me staggering about whether they think I should be behind the wheel, they comment that daily they see people in worse shape than me. -- Mr Churchill likes the working class, he likes to see them work. - Clement Attlee
