No, I was born deaf (although I'm not anymore) and have a lot of issues because of it when it comes to spatial awareness and hand-eye co-ordination and such and I've never felt comfortable with the idea of driving a 2 ton killing machine.

I've also been run over so that plays on my mind a lot when it comes to the thought of driving.

That's some serious stuff there! Glad you survived it (as are you no doubt).

You said you were born deaf but aren't any more. Did you get one of those cochlear implant jobbies ?

Absolutely love your Kate Bush Avatar and Sig. pics!!!! I'm a HUGE Kate Bush fan. Probably (imo) the most talented musician ever.
I've got a really good CD that's all demo and different versions of her songs. Think it's a Bootleg/Unofficial disc but it's definitely worth having.
I've got quite a lot of her earlier stuff on Vinyl as well as CD. Sounds fantastic on Vinyl!

I broke my foot and cut my eyelid.

They gave a card to the school to give me, it had a lot of money in it and that's the story of my first bribe.

Yeah, I had no serious injuries in the end but got a lifelong cautious attitude when it comes to roads and a distrust of drivers.

Yeah pretty much, I've had nine operations where they've had to put in implants, T-Tubes, Grommets and such.

You ran out in the road so don't see how you can distrust drivers I think you are more cautious.

I hit a 8 year old girl years ago when she ran in the road,thankfully she was ok but got up and ran off like a cat.

I always give people on the road plenty of room

Yeah, i haven't driven for some time. I fell asleep at the wheel and had quite a serious crash. It was just fortunate that there were no other cars about at the time (it happened at 3.30am). It's made me very cautious about driving ever since.

That's fantastic that they fixed your hearing. Do you have full hearing now ?

I'm glad you're okay I could only imagine how much of an effect something like that would have had on you.

My hearing is below average overall, it's strong in some areas but quite weak in others. I'm happy enough though.
