Driving again after a crash.
Discussion
Back behind the wheel the second you can!
Assuming the new vehicle is damaged and can't be driven, whats the chances of getting back in you (adapted) old vehicle now as a pose to awaiting a replacement vehicle and also waiting for it to be adapted.
Hope this doesn't sound disingenuous or anything, I've ZERO idea how all this motability stuff works

I'm a big insensitive 40 year old bloke, and I find it very hard to replicate the specific manoeuvre at the specific junction I had an accident at last year.
It happened in heavy holiday traffic and to be honest I avoid the junction when I think the traffic will be bad.
Pragmatically it's because I can't see how I could have avoided the accident there in similar circumstances if they re-occurred, but emotionally there's a loss-of-confidence element there too.

Old van arrived back yesterday, it's getting hard to drive (in terms of purely physical strength) but I can do local stuff in it. It's not got the same controls as the new one - it's a lot less specialised, but also has a lot less to go wrong!Assuming the new vehicle is damaged and can't be driven, whats the chances of getting back in you (adapted) old vehicle now as a pose to awaiting a replacement vehicle and also waiting for it to be adapted.

Old vehicles are auctioned off so I'm really lucky that mine was stil around - the insurance will provide a bog standard courtesy car but I wouldn't even be able to sit in one of them.
Thanks a lot, guys. Going to have a few lessons when the new van comes back, build up slowish back to normal driving.
Dealing with the repair centre that are sorting the damaged wheel is driving me faintly mad - couldn't get the bloke to understand that I use neither the pedals nor the steering wheel...

Why make a drama out of what nearly happened ? It could have been worse but wasn't ,get over yourself before you become a victim of your mind .
Strong but true I guess, don't let your imagination run away with you, or at least try to restrain it!As I said the other day: what does the manufacturer have to say? I think that the onus is on them to reassure the OP and also to address the issue with the adapted vehicle.
