After 43 years that’s it!

Sorry Alima but it looks like I am going to be the first to congratulate you on being sensible and knowing when to give up driving.
There are far to many people on the roads who pose a danger to themselves and others. I could never forgive myself if I caused an accident in which someone was injured due to my driving.

Good for you giving up driving; buses are quite sociable and, as has been said, your green credentials will be given a boost! And think of all the lovely money not to be spent on car maintenance, road tax and insurance.

My mum, at 81, decided that she wanted to give up. Frankly it was a relief, as the family were a bit concerned (me in particular, as I often was in the car with her, and so how lacking in confidence she was) She started driving when she was sixteen (she is American) and we calculated that after driving for 65 years, she was more than entitled to retire!!
Both my husband and I agreed to take her shopping, the only proviso being that she will simply have to go on errands which require a car on weekends. If it is something where she wants to go during the week, she will take a cab. This all came over during the summer and she has not regretted her decision so far.

Re the compost..Milk & More milkmen deliver it!

Sorry you feel the need to ditch the car. Just save the insurance, petrol,parking and maintenance costs for taxis.
