It is only three months or so - from today (24.01/) that I made the fateful decision to give up driving...I gave it up because at times on the Dordogne rural roads that I have known for over 40 years - I felt unsafe - incompetent....and definitely worried about the speed of others on the road...
My nearest shopping town is some 12 kms or so down hill from my house....the road width is not up to the super size lorries and wild trees keep falling into the road - when not actually being cut down.
Why did I give up you might want know ...because I had just passed my 80th birthday is the simplest answer. But the cherry is that I have found a very charming, good looking, local part time driver who will take me anywere I want....using my car. Or perhaps that is the real reason.
