    My wife was diagnosed 5 years ago and shortly after diagnosis she had to drive me home from surgery in San Antonio to our home 28 miles out of SAT.

    She drove the entire trip either on the frontage roads or the right lane at 49 MPH on I 35!!

    Needless to say she got home and said I don’t want to drive anymore.

    That lasted 3 months and she started chirping about driving, since it was her car.
    Her doctors strongly discouraged her from driving and it’s been a constant struggle since to not let her drive.

    She just suffered her first broken bone with PD/ PDD over Thanksgiving so maybe she will finally relent on the idea of driving.

    I tip my hat to those who do not elect to  put others lives on the line by driving.
