Funny how this subject came up.
A friend of mine who has a sci and drives was telling me what a passenger did to them the other day.
He was driving down a road and a fairly curvy road when he camea little close to the shoulder and the passenger grabbed the wheel and yanked and turned it and of course when he yanked it, it my friend lost all balance and ended up flopped over to his right side and barely missing cars at the same time until they ended up in the ditch that the guy thought he was avoiding any ways.
I would really miss my grip if this happened to me, not for driving but for strangling this guy!

Have any of you that drive had someone say to you that they would never ride with you? I have a friend of 25 yrs whom our kids grew up together and is one of those who actually stayed a friend after an sci injury. She said this to me 10 yrs ago when I began driving. A situation came up & I said, well you can ride with me. She replied I told you I'd never ride with you. This really ticked me off. To me it's offending my injury and how I overcome it. I wouldn't tell a blind person I won't eat your cooking, how can you cook if you can't see?!!! Sorry, but I have to vent...What would some of you say to this remark?
