I had to pick my parents up from birmingham airport today and my route ended with M6 north, M42 north and then follow airport signs, or something like that. so, apart from getting lost going, which didnt surprise me and didnt matter too much as the flight was an hour and half delayed anyway, i thought, ok coming back shouldnt be too much hassle, just head back southwards M42, M6 and then follow signs for local routes (ish), anyway you get the gist it seemed like a pretty good plan.... so i did........................... M42 south..........easy peasy, feeling quietly confident then........................................ummmm............. ok, who stole the M6 and replaced it with the M5 heading to cardiff and bristol??? it turns out that after coming in on the M42 northbound, i have to leave, on the M42 northbound!!?? of course, silly me, what a fool....

I missed my turn off the M6 and ended up going past Meadow hall and thinkin ang on a that feckn meadow hall, was all flooded in the valleys, then going past halifax go up quiet high above sea level next thing theres a snow plow on hard shoulder and am like what the ...next thing its snowing.
Am good with visual memory I can remember rout to any were by shops visual cues, had a job in london and hadn't been back for years and still remembered the back way in that brings you out on Oxford street, quiet spooky.
Thats why good on graphics coz remember processes through visual cues on software.

haha, drivers day off ;D simone i considered a sat nav, but generally dont go far enough regularly to really be worth it and also my OH did consider getting me one once but thought i might lose my rag with the woman/man telling me to turn right turn right turn right he reckoned after screaming obsenities at her that i AM TURNING F*ING RIGHT, i might kill a granny passer by as i would probably hurl it out of the window in a massive hissy fit when she didnt shut up and just ended up adding to my confusion dunno what he meant

think I've just fallen out with you safensound. oh simone love the idea of a spare passenger to do the satnav. can i just find someone random coz don't think my OH,satnav, and me driving is not a good combination. and boo i think we suffer from the same affliction. i call it the 180degree out of sync syndrome. and no it's no good trying to second guess it. andy my only answer is that repetition is the friend of adders

Its a statistical fact men have more serious accidents than women, which suggests women are safer on roads, as in someways we are then superior of the sexes although men do have their uses if you know what I mean. Only joking!

M42!!! Loads of fun!!! I once set off for Nottingham from the West Midlands, near Birmingham. I ended up in Bristol Another time I went to Leicester. (I'm often good at getting places. It's coming back I more often get lost with. I'm satisfied I've done it all by the time I've got there.) I came back, again, to the West Midlands, and ended up near Milton Keynes! My old work used to send me on errands, SatNav-less. They were always convinced I took all day over it and submitted falsified mileage request forms for a blag. I kind of brazened it out and didn't tell them - I was too embarrassed - not a bit of it! I didn't know where the hell I was even when I was going reasonably local. Needless to say, I got quite a reputation for some of these mammoth trecks. Often, I would get back to a round of applause

I actually had 57 lessons and never drove after passing my test because of fears of killing people......what can I say, I could probably park like they did..until I had another 250 lessons of course.

lol
For me, I think some people with ADHD will have impairments in driving skill - recognising red lights in time, spatial awareness, judgement etc. Sometimes I drive a little too quick - if I'm angry, say - but this is rare, and mainly, I find that my impairments are with navigation. At that I'm crap.
I would be able to say that in my years of driving I have never got points, but I got flashed coming home late last night. I was chatting away to a guy I had met that night and focusing on that. buggeroo!

Arrrah your a nice person safesound, and your driving can be forgiven as you havent had a claim in 10years.
Your right gavbelcher I have spatial awarness problems as well as cordination hence learning to drive in an auto, I also hate riving but its a means to an end.
