    I wouldn't worry too much. Perhaps the events will fall in the order of he won't see the bridge out or hear the wind whistling by him as he plummets off a cliff. "Tarnation! What's wrong with these roads these days! They're terrible, I say, just terrible! Back in my day-" *BOOM*

      Service dogs are not just for sight . . .even if the person is wearing thick glasses.
      Some dogs are for sound
      Some are for specific smells . . .like asbestos
      Some are to signal to start of a siezure

      Please don't decided that just because someone has a service dog they are blind.

        This is a very touch and go subject. I am not posting this link for any discussion purposes other then to demonstrate why Blas is right and this probably should go to fratching for the debate portion - When this happened around here a few years back http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Russell_Weller , Remember this post isn't to be debated on here, just putting it up to note how bad it can be.

        On a lighter note, my Grandmother voluntarilly gave up her license and car when she didn't feel comfortable driving anymore. And I've flat out told my parents that I will have their licenses yanked when they are a threat to other people (they may think I'm kidding....but I'm not )
        My Karma ran over your dogma.

          Rachel Ray had a guest give up her keys when she made arrangements for a professional driver.
          Basically the lady was driving herself and her friends around because of a catch 22. The didn't want to be a burden to the family. Nor did they want to have to set their schedule based on when the family was available to help. (wanted to go to lunch last minute etc.)

          Worked out well for all parties. The family didn't worry. The lady got to go where and when she wanted . . .and the added advantage of a "young" (in his 40's I think) man to escort her and the girls. The driver got a steady income and a client that showed him respect.

            My grandmother is too senile to remember that she agreed not to drive. So right now, her car is "needing about a thousand dollars work." All the relatives that live nearby know this. Nanna can get lots of rides anytime she wants one.

            Her distributor cap is sitting on Dad's dresser.

              That's how a friend got his car the last year of college. His parents told him that he had to go get his driver license. That way they could tell his grandmother, "Oh, M is graduating, he really needs a car. You're living in the assisted living place with the buses now, aren't you? How do you feel about giving him yours?"

              A nice, face-saving way of getting her off the road without anyone getting hurt. The funny part? M hates to drive. He will gladly pay gas on that 300 mile trip, if someone else will drive.
              I'm sorry, the person to whom you were speaking has been replaced by a recording. Please leave your message at the sound of the beep.
