Default Have not driven in 10 years

When it took to much focusing to keep my right side from gaining control of the car from my left side, and the tremor in my foot pressing the gas pedal over and over, I decided my driving days were over. I knew I could not live with myself if I hit a child or rearended a car and killed an innocent to maintain my independence.

Everyone knows when they are a danger on the road and desires to have the choice to decide when they should stop driving. The problem, driving is not a right but a priviledge, and being human, the individual usually prefers to err on the side of retaining their independence. Eventually too many commit that error and take the choice away from all, when a victims family goes to court to take measures to prevent further victims by revoking drivinng priviledges from handicapped or senior individuals.
