Driving with Numb Feet.

@thurlibier, I, too, still have feeling in my feet, but not the same measure of feeling I once had. Although I'm hoping I'll not lose the remaining feeling, I'm realistic enough to know I can't count on that. In preparation for what may come, I'm already driving more cautiously. For example, I now back my vehicle up my driveway so that, as I'm leaving, I'm going forward, which gives me a clearer view of the avenue, both left and right. Stopping in traffic, I'm leaving more distance between my vehicle and the one in front. Also (among several other cautions), as my vehicle is a somewhat high-spirited Jeep, especially on starting up, I'm now letting the engine rev down before I put it in Drive; it's sort of an "Easy, big fella!" moment. That way, as I drive off, both my Jeep and I are reasonably calm. 🙂

@ray666 My husband says I drive like a little old lady. You probably are like me and have the greatest respect and admiration for them and a lot of drivers now, in realizing they are being extra careful for their own benefit and more importantly, for the benefit and safety of others. I feel a little sorry for those times in my life I might have gotten frustrated behind one of those drivers. We are seeing the world through much different lenses now.
