I've been "released" to drive again by the MDs. Show's how much they know.
I've decided to use my best judgement (for what that is currently worth) as to when I should attempt to drive. Not when it's too bright. Not when I'm too foggy.
Generally on my best days when necessary for doctors appts. etc.

I decided to meet my son for dinner on one of my "good" days. Halfway home I encountered heavy fog. The headlights were bouncing around in the fog to a point where I felt like I was driving in a "fun house" nightmare. I made it home and had several "bad" days afterward.

Things that healthy people take for granted can absolutely wreck me now.
Caution becomes my first thought to whatever I attempt to undertake these days.

wdl6591,

Good for you regarding the driving. Driving is a critical issue and most will over-rate their ability to drive. I have been limiting my driving for 11 years. I even went 2 years without driving at all when I had too much stress in my life.

It is also important to learn to find times and roads that are easier to drive and those that are not.

This is subject is frequently discussed at my Brain Injury Support Group meeting. Those with the greatest disability tend to be less willing to make good decisions.

I think a lot of people forget that driving is in fact operating heavy equipment. If you are unable to keep focus 100% of the time, if you are easily distracted, if you can only focus on one thing at a time or cannot multi-task, you are not ready to get behind the wheel. If you get dizzy suddenly, if you get disoriented, are limited in how you react to things in your environment that have changed, you aren't ready to get behind the wheel. I think Mark is right on the issue of impaired judgement and brain injury and should be taken into account when considering driving. We frequently don't know our own limitations. Much better to be conservative on this one than hurt yourself or someone else.
