@sam Yes, I consider it bland that my father could have retained his independence when he became to ill to drive. I consider it bland that my friend with limited vision would gain the ability to travel by car at will like many people. I don’t actually have any more friends with conditions limiting their driving but there are a lot of people out there who stand to benefit.

How many man-hours are lost due to drivers sitting in traffic jams in the UK per day? I’m going to estimate on the order of 100,000 man hours per day. It’s very bland that those drivers will then be able to read a book, phone a relative or turn their seat round 180 deg and talk with their children in the back. Golly it all sounds so awful.
