‘Hello Samantha, it’s good to see you again. How are you and how’s your sister/mother or is it mother/sister?’
I looked up just at that moment. I had put Katya’s bag down in the hall as Katya greeted my sister. I watched Samantha’s face go through a whole series of expressions before she laughed, stepped forward and gave Katya a big hug. Once again Katya looked a little surprised. When I saw Samantha look puzzled at Katya’s expression I explained. ‘Katya has, or perhaps had until recently this misconception that all English people are reserved, aloof, and not given to showing emotions. I hugged her at the station and you sister dear have just hugged her again, and that is why she is wearing that rather puzzled look on her face. By the way I am interested too whether it is sister/mother or mother/sister?’
Samantha looked daggers at me as she stepped back from hugging Katya. ‘I’ll let you guess,’ she said, ‘but woe betide you if you guess wrong.’
‘Katya, this is a wonderful vision this early in the morning,’ and just to add to Katya’s continuing confusion my father swept into the hall and gave Katya a big hug.

About the Book
Senior Drivers! Your future is in jeopardy. A disturbing situation is developing in the
Older people have difficulty concentration, shorter attention spans and failing vision among other ailments. Unfortunately this results in frequent driving mishaps, sometimes with catastrophic results. Taking away their driving privileges would deprive them of their self esteem and independence. This could happen if they continued to have accidents caused by their propensity to get distracted easily and lose concentration. Some states have already enacted laws requiring re-exams for seniors. No doubt many more will follow.
Driving slower in traffic is not the answer. This could cause accidents. Driving too fast would be worse since a person’s attention span and reaction time deteriorate with age. It does not matter how skillful he or she once were, aging diminishes skill in almost all areas including the operation of a motor vehicle. Driving today has become more complex as many more cars are on the road. When seniors started to drive, turnpikes and expressways were non existent.
After observing the avoidable accidents seniors were having, and realizing how their ranks were exploding, I decided to write “The Senior Driver’s Survival Guide” – subtitled What You Must Know to Protect Your Driving Privileges.
Its contents can enable older drivers to drive with a more acute awareness and help them to be better drivers in their “Golden” years.
It is an important book which has the power to change and save lives.
