If only that were true. Give up, you just keep making yourself look foolish.
My dad said the same thing you said here when i discuss road challenges. He is firm that I should get off the road m. But here is the thing:
Unlike you, dad almost killed us when he had a head on collision with a ford van. My mom’s head broke the windshield and she had to have surgery around her neck to remove the glass from her neck. Dad also broke his arm from another accident he caused.
So when he talks like you do here, mom loves to hush him up. Had it not been for my mother who fought for my rights to drive when I was a teenager , I probably would have been where you want me to be: in UBER.
Just so you and the forum know: my medical team are the people who authorized me to drive due to my disability. Their advice I’ll take when it comes to surrounding my license. For now, no reason has been detected by my medical team.
When my dad was my age - his mental capacity was really declined and we as a family took his license away. We all had to step up and help out with driving him and my mom around until they passed away.
I don’t care what your situation is. The bottom line is you are a danger to other people on the road. And the kicker is - you know and continue to drive. Which in many states is a CRIME.

Now this all makes sense. You are projecting here. No wondering you are judging me this way without knowing absolutely nothing about me.
Sorry to hear about your dad. I’ve been driving for over 20+ years and have hurt no one.
Stay blessed.
When I was 7, My Dad picked me up from my Aunt and cousins who were babysitting me while Mom slept during the day for her nursing night shift.
He was on back pills and Bud(thanks to my aunt for the three beers he had), and should not have been driving.
So I went in the front seat, on top of a boat cushion so I could see out better. Neither one of us was thinking about seatbelts.
He drove us away from my Aunts at what I was later told was a “rocket” speed, and instead of turning left or right at the T-intersection, he went straight - into a tree in the front yad of the house across the street. I went flying into the dash (broke some front teeth) and my forehead hit the windshield.
In the hospital I had to have glass picked out of my forehead by one of their top surgeons.
Darn. I’m sure you’ll never forget that day, Chris. Very frightening.
I believe the car we were driving didn’t have a working seatbelt. It was a capri.
Like you, I was in the car when we had a head-on collision. The impact never left my heart. Just thinking about it scares the crap out of me.
Glad you and I were ok !

Just so you and the forum know: no one but you mentioned your disability except to remind you that no one but you brought it up. Wait a minute… everyone here but you already knows that. Several people have said that you don’t seem to have the mental capacity to drive safely.
I want to respond to this particular comment you made.
Please read carefully. What you wrote above was wrote to me in the past under VOLVO’s screen name. In other words, this information was shared with me twice.
You gave away yourself, Volvo. 
And you really upvoted yourself
You are so silly.
Mom had already had enough of Dad’s drunkenness, and this crash led her a few months later to “renovate” our kitchen! That is, throw the kitchen chairs away from the table, flip the table over and proceed to sit down on the one chair she didn’t toss, and use piece of a broken glass to slit her wrist.
I heard the whole thing from the bedrooms upstairs, and it’s amazing how being in a separate room made it sound like WW3! I called the police, and told them mommy and daddy were fighting. Police came over, administered first aid to my mother’s wrist(!) and attempted to make sense of it all.
My school performance suffered, and if i wasn’t throwing the classroom globe down the fecking hallway, I was hiding somewhere, teachers and my mom trying to locate me. I was already in a special ed classroom because of the damage to my brain from prenatal smoking and drinking.
My mother had initiated divorce from Dad, and the State was about to take me away when he decided to clean up in rehab once and for all.
I ended up in a residential treatment home for three years.
But why is that jtsanders ?
What do these same folks say about teenagers who got their license and have a tendency to engage in speeding and stunting ?
Nobody seems to argue that the required age for obtaining a driver’s license should be 30, since that’s the age humans seem to calm down and be less of a danger to others on the road ?
In New York State, you must stop for a stopped & indicating bus for all the scenarios in that diagram - and then some:
Even for a raised concrete island or divider between multiple north and southbound lanes separating you from that bus.
I am bothered that you have announced your hearing problems like it is a badge of honor… I have hearing loss from my 30-years in the Air Force… I wear hearing aids, do you… If you do, I would not expect you to “brag” about being hard of hearing… So, if you do not have or use hearing aids, get them and use them!
Also, soon all of this hullaballoo about passing a Stopped School Bus on a Divided Highway may be a moot point and you can move onto some other driving problem you might discover. There is a bill in the New York Senate right now to remove the restriction on the passing of stopped school buses on divided highways; provides that vehicles traveling in the opposite direction of a school bus on such highway shall not have to stop if a physical barrier is present between the different directions of travel.
So write you state senator and demand that s/he votes for the passing of this bill.

I’m starting to wonder if you have a lot of billboards advertising strip clubs in your area… 
Have you discussed your traffic violations with your team of doctors, and not being able to see big yellow school buses??

I only missed one bus, Dave. Just one in my lifetime. And yes, I mentioned it to my Dr. I’m such a goofy guy most times and friendly, and like to share interesting stories with others.
My doctor wasn’t surprised that I missed the school bus. His words were comforting and supportive. He said something along the line: “ Yea, the buses are everywhere and the rule is enforced. I look out for them like a hawk. You should too.”
He also gave me tips such as when the buses are mostly active on the road and where they often pick up and unload.
Nothing about going to traffic school or to seek professional training. Nothing of that sort.
Again, Dave, I missed one school bus in my life time, and i have never repeated a mistake twice.

Things can easily get blown out of proportion in an open forum, but I would still look for that Voodoo doctor and ask him to stop messing with you, cause you have had some very bad luck…
My new RED truck the 1st couple weeks seemed like it had a freaking bullseye on it, I had people cutting me off and jumping in front of me and all kinds of crazy things, to the point I almost thought about trading it in for a different color… lol

. Most definitely.
I often times wonder if someone casts a spell on me. My mom went through similar phases in recent years.
She had just bought a Nissan Sentra and took it out on the road for a ride where the unexpected happened and her car was totaled. Insurance covered her, then she bought another vehicle and in about 3 weeks or so later she totaled the vehicle, insurance dropped her and she had issues getting insured by other companies.
Before this weird phenomenon, she had no problems on the road ever, and the bad spell seems to have went away.
My hearing issue is very weird, Thunder, so weird that my doctors are sad to not be able to help me.
I have the severe kind of tinnitus. Right now as I’m typing out this to you I’m hearing hale stones falling on a piece of zinc. Or better put: oil popping in a frying pan. The noise is so loud that a tv on a non-channel with the volume on max wouldn’t match volume to what going on in my ears.
Hearing aids won’t correct this. 
Besides my hearing loss, I also have tinnitus. Gunfire and jet engines will do that to you…
However, I did not know your specific condition but if your doctors have not recommended and tried Sound Therapy Devices or Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, you should get new doctors…

Are you so stupid that you think I wrote a post using someone’s screen name ? Besides I never made that 50 year driving claim and I only have one account here .

Oh please grow up. What I know about you is what you post here. Along with everyone else who is telling you the same thing. You should read the comments. Based on your own comments - You can’t see an extremely LARGE yellow bus in broad daylight with flashing lights. What else do we need to know.
That’s like the smoker who’s been smoking for 20 years and said smoking is bad because I’m still healthy.
