[Blindtlk] To Drive or not to Drive: that is the question

[nikki Wunderlich]

Hello,

My thoughts on this subject are while it would be nice to be able to drive,
it doesn't mean that in the mean time we can't live full productive lives.
It just means that when and if we are able to drive, it will be some what
easier for us to do so, especially for those who live out in the country. It
also doesn't mean we can't be as independent as possible til then because we
can with the use of public transportation, as well as friends and family
helping out with rides from time to time, we also can walk places if they
are not too far, or to dangerous to get to.

I have heard from many, blind and sighted alike that the blind  being
able to drive will be  looked  upon as  something  absolutely iconic
and life-changing.  Assuming  that this opinion is in fact widely
believed,  what do you think this means for us as blind people now?
Also what does it mean, if we never do  drive? Is this to say that our
lives  are not full?  Not complete?  And will never be?
 I'm curious as to your thoughts  on this.
