My wife hasn't driven for about two years because of knee and hip operations. Prior to that she had a clean licence for 48 years. When she's walking normally again we both intend to get her driving once more. I suggested a lesson or two from a school of motoring but she doesn't think it's necessary. I am aware that a common problem with older woman drivers is that the husband does all the driving and the wife gets no practice - until he dies first! The older woman driver is the second most accident-prone category after young drivers and more so than older men.
Opinions? Am I fussing?
Just in case anyone thinks I'm putting myself forward as a perfect husband I have it in mind that it would be nice to go out and be the one who can have a drink or three 🙂
My husband took the assessment and refreshing advice from AA instructor following week.
The instructor was excellent test took 2 hours and I felt confident on his assessment.
Best of luck .. Sally 🙂
