All very good points. I long to move to an urban house with off street parking and a lot of shops within walking distance. Then I could get my therapeutic walk, fixin's for dinner, and not blow smoke at the same time.

I think everyone, PwP or not, has to constantly assess and evaluate the safety of their driving. Unfortunately, we've created a monster: a car-dependent way of life for which an aging population is ill suited. As a society, we are doing our best to ignore this. At least most PwPs I know are very conscious of their driving, and conscientious as well. What scares me more are the overconfident multitaskers of all ages-the ones who simultaneously eat breakfast, consult their GPS, apply makeup, and text their friends while driving.
