Guest guest Posted May 4, 2000 Report Share Posted May 4, 2000 I gave up driving after going to my Acupuncturist one day and they made me call my husband to pick me up afterwards. They said if I was too weak to walk unassisted, I shouldn't be driving. I haven't driven since. I think I could drive but I tire so easily and I'm afraid if I had to repond quickly my reaction time wouldn't be fast enough. We live in a mountainous area with lots of curves in the road. I am tired of being dependent on my husband to drive me but just don't have the confidence to try driving again. Anyone have the same concerns? What would liability be if I were in an accident and they tried to say my illness caused the accident? Do I need to notify my insurance of my disease? Motor Vehicle department? In Calif. I think the Docs are required to report patients to DMV that have diseases that might impair driving, but Ariz. doesn't seem to have such requirements. I hope I haven't opened a can of worms here, I'm sure Rita is fine to drive, but when do we decide we aren't? What are our responsibilities?
