I stopped driving 6 years ago. Neuropathy in both feet made driving impossible. Yes, it's inconvenient but so is killing someone. Parkinson then becomes the least of your worries. Getting to the grocery store won't seem that important. Please reconsider what you think is your right and what is your responsibility. Prayers 🙏🏽. Judy

I had given up driving. I was a hazard. I stared Rick Steady Boxing, and now I can drive again.

I am 82 still driving but if I thought I was dangerous to others or myself on the road I would stop. I don't drive far usually within a 10 mile radius of my home.

It is my husband who has PD. I am asking to know how it affects others. Thanks for your reply.
