The driving assessor from Devon county council is also an international rally navigator which means  he sits next to the racing driver and tells him where to go. He says it's probably safer than sitting next to a normal driver on any of our normal roads.

I sit in the back of the car while he observes Robin as he drives the country roads around us for an hour. The roads are wet, slippery, strewn with autumn leaves. Afterwards he fills out the forms and tells us what he thinks. The car starts to steam up so I wind down the window.

He says it was  a safe drive, a bit fast sometimes, and his main concern is Robin's steering due to his dodgy right arm and a tendency to veer to the left which could mean near misses, or scrapes or something worse on that nearside. He recommends a driving ball for the steering wheel which you can get from a disability equipment shop and another assessment in 6 months. But he'll send the report to the doctor and we need to wait for her verdict. Also we need to wait for a proper diagnosis after the MRI to find out the cause of Robin's arm weakness.

More waiting. No driving for now.

Last blog for a while.  Heading for the sun in Portugal. Back in November.
