When the ON hit me, I still drove. I found out very soon that closing my eye or putting on an eye patch stopped the vertigo and dizziness cold. I did have depth perception issues, but worked my way through them, and adjusted my way of driving ( slower, more careful, look twice, take side roads, etc)

I may be in a little different driving situation than most of you. I can drive 25 miles to work and not see another vehicle. It's VERY quiet here most of the year. The summer gets busy, but for the most part, no traffic at all.

I DO have a backup driver if need be. My fiance does drive, but not very well! He scares the heck out of me! More often than not, I drive when we go somewhere.

If and when it comes down to it, I won't drive, but I don't even want to think of that happening. I have become more of a homebody in the past few years, but when I want to go, I want to be able to go without any hassle!!
