Hi Michelle, My name is Bernie... I understand your problem with the driving... my daughter is now 25 and I taught her how to drive which was at times pretty 'hairy'... one of the things I found was that looking in the rear-vision mirror or the speedo meant that the time taken to do that and then re-adjust her eyes took a long time... hence I taught her to judge her speed and only look in the rear mirror when she had a long straight stretch.... things like side streets... the darting eyes 'we' take for granted are much more anticipation than actually looking for OMA suffers...other members of my family still don't have drivers licences... and one is 45 years old.. wont trust herself behind a wheel..Kate ,my daughter, stills drives toooo close to the car in front...anyway... good luck
