Mostly this means I have to consciously turn to see cars on either side when driving, which I still can. It might be interesting to check with someone who is doing research into PD and perception. His name is Prof. John Harris, Dept. of Psychology, University of Reading, Whiteknights Park, Reading, Berkshire, England. I have been one of his "guinea-pigs" for 3 or more years. His latest tests are about going through doorways. I did well on those until there were horizontal stripes to right & left of the doorframes, when I consistently over-estimated the width of the gap! -- Jeremy Browne, Hampshire, UK [log in to unmask] Shaking Hands BBS, Fidonet 2:252/160 (+44 1252 621745)
