Toll roads and the law

Number plate?

In other words you have not reported your incapacity. Maybe the poor misfortunates you plow into will feel happier knowing that you are not a professional. I would try to avoid too much wheezing in their presence though because like drunken drivers, anyone presenting additional risks to other road users is not looked on too kindly these days.

Plenty of people are driving around half blind, full of confidence they can see perfectly. They only find out after the accident.

I actually saw one on Sunday, driving over Chertsey bridge. Wasn't doing 88 though.

Well if it was, you wouldn't have seen it... ;)

I've not seen many over the years, but there are a few around. I think there's a company in Texas (?) who can sell you one built from a combination of original and repro parts which uses original VIN numbers, which probably isn't true of many (any?) other cars of the 80s.

There is no requirement for me to do so, it does not affect my driving.

It's not happened and it is umlikely to. I dont drive drunk or asleep and I practise the skills in Roadcraft.

There's no additional risk, I don't drive when I'm tired.

I also have partial loss of vision, in one eye. When I found out it did explain a few near misses. I now search when looking to the right to prevent vehicles disappearing. That's a technique not documented in Roadcraft. It is not notifiable and I have more than compensated for the visual loss.

Or at least you think you have.

Tell that to the biker you plow into.

It hasn't happened and it wont. I am unable to rely on peripheral vision to the right to detect movement, I have to look directly at the road and for this reason I see cyclists and motorcyclists. There's no chance of them hiding in my blindspot. I SEE more than someone who just glances a couple of times.

I'm easy on that.

I'd almost take your points seriously Denise, if it wasn't obvious from previous postings that you're just an old woman. Awww... Did Denny get frightened by the big nasty noisy machine, Den?

I can accept that - if you're aware of your shortcomings and compensate for them, unlike many others.

Yes I totally agree, common sense at last. Much to the distaste of the pratt's that are out to spoil a chaps fun, I find it perfectly acceptable to close one eye for the drive home from the pub. I am aware that after fourteen pints my two eyes tend to misalign and produce contrdictory images, so I compensate by closing my left eye.

'Trouble is some of the stupid tossers at the pub keep trying to take my keys off me.

RPG?
