hi mykidsmom, its a bit different here in the uk, when a person reaches the age of 70, everyone has to have a yearly checkup, the reason why I surrendered my licence was because in 2006 I had a major stroke which left me paralised downmy entire left side, also the vision in my left eye has also suffered, so as not to be a danger on the roads, I made the decision to pack in driving, the last time I was behind the wheel driving was may 2006. regards dunwack.

I was 14 when we moved but i swear i did the majority of my growing up in walkinstown & am proud of it. If you're on facebook look up the group page 'i grew up in walkinstown/greenhills & do join it as theres lots of info & memories flowing there. The group is only about two months old but it has really taken off beyond the expectations of the two women who started it. I was invited to the group by my friend on another Dublin forum & got my brother & cousins interested but my brother is on it too.
Our other forum member riposte is a walkinstowner like me & he mite just help u too.
If u need any help just ask me.

corpo or not corpo,that is the question.
Originally posted by Suzieq View PostHi dunwack Harty ave is part of what they call the musical roads as the roads are named after composers. I thought the houses on the musical roads were built by the Corpo too. I will raise that question to the group too. I always thought we were working class lol.

Here i think the next redo on the driving test is 80.....but ive a long way to go since im only 38(sic) hehehehhee.....and with my luck i'll probably be kicking up daisy's anyway before then...hey we had matching strokes...i lost the sight in my left eye too due to a stroke 3 years ago....it was a pain in the bum to get used to....but hey...on the big scale of things....we were lucky to come thro it.......hugs. but you know what..i think the testing at 70 is a great idea and doing it yearly is fantastic...id have no problem if they implemented that here....cos if your not safe you shouldnt be on the road...and very few will actually admit they have issues eh cos they dont want to give up their licenses
