His wife couldn’t drive him to work? Has he mentally faced the job-loss implications to his family in this terrible job market? In other words, are there greater fears that could overcome his decision not to drive? Courage isn’t doing the heroic; it is overcoming one’s fears for a better purpose..

The boss sounds like he was looking for an excuse to get rid of an employee he no longer wanted for whatever reason. I guess the job is a goner anyway.

Tell me why some friends or relatives can’t fill in the gap and drive Ken’s friend to work, or even elsewhere? That could keep him working for months. My guess is that being in a car with people he trusts will help him regain his confidence. Also, his guilt about disrupting their lives will goad him to get back behind the wheel.

Do we really need more neurotic guilt ridden drivers, with or without just one glass of wine in them, on our roads?

Here you go again, Judy, giving advice on skimpy information. Do you know when the accident happened? Maybe it’s only been a few weeks? That is quite different than a few months, isn’t it? Maybe he is on the way to recovery, and just needs to be left alone for a while longer, and nagging him will be counterproductive?

Ken’s friend seems to be complete traumatized. Maybe his insurance covers this condition?
