Thanks Cricket, but, of course, that accident could have happened to anyone, and I would not let it stop me from driving, if I was sure of my ability to do so, safely.

Having said that, I have to admit, there were times, when I drove, only to realize, while I was behind the wheel, that I wasn't 100%....either, in the earlier years, b/c I had a drink that went straight to my head or, in the later years, b/c of a MS symptom that arose.In both of those instances, I gingerly, got myself and my loaded vehicle, slowly and safely, home.

In the later years, with my MS getting worse, I didn't drive much at all and not long distances, b/c, I knew that an MS SX could arise at anytime. I would not drive, at all, if I was having any MS SX, before getting into the car/van.

When It came time, in 2006, to renew my DL, I hadn't been driving for nearly 2 years, so chose not to renew. I was 65, at the time. It's a P.I.T.A, but safer for all.

This is a choice for every individual to make on his/her own and we all know, in our hearts and minds, when the time has come, to stop driving...MS or no MS..

The BMV will give a driver's license to just about anyone, so it's up to us to know when........
