God bless you, Sally, for making that hard, but right, decision!

The only issue I have with driving is the fatigue and cognitive slowness that comes with it. If I'm tired, I don't drive. Period. And I avoid congested areas that involve traffic coming at me from all directions, or multi-lane highways, just in case.

I've not had any close calls, but if ever think for a minute that I'm not safe to be on the road, I will quit. I might weep and wail and bang my head against the wall, but I will quit. And just in case I take leave of my senses, I've made my daughter promise to do whatever she has to do to stop me if I shouldn't be on the road.

I am terrified when I hear people who KNOW they shouldn't be driving say that they "only drive near home" or "go really slow". I can't imagine how awful it would be to have to give up my license and the independence that goes with it, but it wouldn't be as awful as killing someone.
