You stop driving when you’re diagnosed.

I feel fine driving but if I'm not feeling well I don't drive. I never drive at night anymore or long distances.

I knew when it was time. My balance was not good so my head felt a bit off. I felt scared & would drift a little in my lane. I didn’t trust my judgement or my reflexes.I was a nervous wreck when I finally got home. My doctor had advised me to stop driving, but of course I thought I could, but found out I couldn’t. Do you feel uncomfortable when you drive? Feel a bit off. Just give it some serious thought about how you feel inside when you drive. Blessings 😊

Don't take this wrong but if you have to ask it's probably time...sadly I believe we will know in our reflexes get worse and its definitely hard to lose our independence..If my tremors are acting up i don't drive I'd never forgive myself if something happened where I put someone in harms way. It definitely will be awful to lose our independence but better than the latter...prayers we all have the knowledge to make the right decisions.
