Car drove head-on into my car at night but admitted his fault – only I suffered any serious injuries plus trauma. Now walk with sticks but have less movement in right ankle. I’ve only just returned to office work after 4 months physio. I now need to face driving again soon to regain confidence. My employer provides a car (or cash) what should I get? I’m aged 50, driving for 30+ years. Only drive 15 miles a day but loved longer UK trips at week-ends and holidays. Wife will need to share driving, but she hates BIG cars. No kids to consider but like large boot for wife’s luggage! Would a small MPV be more suitable than hatchback? One suggestion has been Ford C-Max small MPV with its higher seat position and its award for solving back posture problems which I also have plus better road visibility and cruise control; automatic may suit? Any evidence I can show employer will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your help – big hurdle to face, was very fit but now limited mobility.
What a dreadful experience!
I hope you are on the way to a full recovery.
It seems you have already done your homework on this. I’d take what you have to your employer.
You could also print out some stuff from the Ford website.
Or get leaflets from a local Ford dealer…
Very best wishes for the future…!
