I just wanted to post about stopping driving (sort of like telling people you’ve passed your driving test, but in reverse, so to speak). A couple of weeks ago, to my surprise, when I went out in my car, I found I had to lift my right leg from the brake to the accelerator. Not very likely that I’d be able to do an emergency stop in a hurry! So I decided that driving was not for me - at least until I can get hand controls for the brake and accelerator fitted to the car. Luckily, I live near a town centre and I’ve never liked driving anyway.
On the bright side, I had a TravelScoot (lightweight mobility scooter) delivered last week. Thank you to everyone who posted in response to my request for info on such things. I got in touch with Patrick, who is a great advocate of the TravelScoot, went to where he lives to see his scooter and ordered one soon after. I am still cycling as well, but my walking is so poor now that shopping is difficult when I’ve cycled to the shops…
