  I HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE UP DRIVING AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY BACK,FIVE DICS CRUMBERLING AT THE BASE OF THE SPINE,A CURVETURE OF THE SPINE,& A HOLE TO THE RIGHT OF THE BASE OF THE SPINE,(WHICH SHOULD NOT BE THERE & THE NERVE END ARE STICKING OUT WHICH NOT ONLY GIVE ME A LOT OF PAIN BOTH NIGHT & DAY, & ON TOP OF THAT THE TREE PLACE IN YOUR BODY WHCH SENDS MESSAGES TO YOUR BRAIN FROM THE FEET ,EYES & TO PLACES BE HIND YOUR EARS,THIS MEAN THAT I LOOSE MY BALANCE. OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS MY LEFT FOOT WILL NOT CONTOL THE CLUTCH PROPERLY & I HAVE HAD SOME NEAR MISSES WHEN I AM OUT DRIVING,SO I HAVE NOW SOLD MY CAR TODAY. I JUST DID NOT FEEL SAFE ON THE ROADS. UI DID NOT WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT,& HURT OTHER PEOPLE OR MYSELFSO IWILL HAVE TO GET A MOBILTY SCOOTER,SO I CAN GET AROUND A BIT

  That is a shame,hope you get to like the scooter,they,re great to get around on.An old friend of mine had a very similar situation as yours and had to give up his car.He was reluctant to change at first but now he loves it and doesnt miss the car one bit especially the amount of traffic we have nowdays.

  Half way through I started rejoicing the roads would be a safer place and then you pulled the scooter trick out
  Good on you Roger it's a big step to take, many on the roads would do well to follow your example, look on the plus side you can always have that extra glass of wine at dinner knowing you won't be called on to drive anywhere.

  Well Roger you've had a few cars since I first met you many years ago when you drove a Mini Traveller, green wasn't it?
  
  If you do get a pavement chariot don't go too far, you'll need some poke left in the battery to get up Minerva!
