My Hand Control Driving

inside my Smart car

Thank You Lord!

is what I said as I looked up and saw that.....

I was inches from hitting the car in front of me.

I believe the reason I looked up at the right time was that small still voice thought from God.

I almost had a near fender bender because:

I was distracted by that bag of food in the picture
I was tired
I am not used to these new hand controls

I will stick by my excuses, however,

 Distracted Driving is Dangerous!

    Well, distraction IS bad, but, I'd like big bags of food anytime ;-)

    i nearly rear ended a car because I looked down at the radio dial for a split second, looked up and traffic was stopped. it only takes a split second, so glad you looked up in time. your steering wheel is adorable.

    i have seen the steering knob but never actually used it myself. i imagine it would take some time to get used to. i nearly rear-ended someone recently. close calls are scary but make me a more defensive driver, which is always good.

    Thank God you heard and listened to the prompting of God! I think it will just take some time to get used to, but I totally agree about distraction.

    I had a SCARY moment last year at Christmas because I was so busy thinking about my "to do" list.

    so glad you are ok...hand controls...wow, maybe that would give me more confidence...but not too much...driving IS dangerous. It has been a year since I've been behind the wheel.

    I got the hand controls, which include a brake at a handicap drivers services in GA. They used the smallest set of hand controls that were available 2-1/2 years ago.
