	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.
