As some will know I had a stroke in October where I lost about half my peripheral vision- and, therefore, my licence. I am allowed to retake a test after 12 months but need to train my eyes to continually scan to the left. The Occupational Therapists have agreed that a good driving/ race simulator might help?.
The question is; does anybody know what they are doing around this type of kit? There seems to be a lot of choice from a bolt on steering wheel attached to your desk at one end, up to 3D Hydraulic Race rigs the other?
I need to get back into my Speedster. Anything I can do to make that happen -I will do. Its hard to explain what a privilege driving is- until its taken away ( especially when we all have the additional good luck to drive a Morgan )
You have my sympathy. I has a TIA 18 months ago and a couple of days before I took delivery of the current toy car. Luckily I was only off driving for three months and my vision came back.
I cant see a normal domestic sim being a help because the screen is directly in front of you. The ones with multiple screens to the sides are likely to cost as much as your car. But cant you do the necessary eye training in the passenger seat with SWMBO driving? Will the doc give you the necessary letter for plod? Failing that can you sit sideways to watch TV?
