marc !!

I've noticed my old mans (late 70s) reaction time has slowed up of late
Like he'll sit at a give way sign and theres an uncomfortable pause
between him looking at a clear turn and him takeing off .

My son on a bus on the pacific hwy last week had an old fella 84
pause that little to long and pull out when the bus was on him .. very sad.

Its a pretty hard one to judge when a family members independance
is on the line , like my fathers a great driver never had an accident
and he would probably be fine in nearlly all situations , but the
bottleneck around the roadworks on the hwy I mention above
and probably a quite a few of those situations that come up were you and I just have to ..and ..do deal very quickly with what in front of us can have some pretty tragic results if your a little off the pace .
