Larry, PLEASE do NOT ride at ALL.
We had a similar situ last year, with Wife in hospital for a month, and the rotten PSW caused our Licence to be pulled as well - despite no hurts, accidents, no nothing!!!.
We were sorely tempted to see our dear Wife more often, but Family, Friends, and ('God blessem') Neighbors simply would NOT let us hit the road.!! We needed to bum rides, but NEVER had a situ where nobody was available to give us a Lift.
The Consequences - IF somebody caused an accident that unavoidably got you somehow involved - your LIFE would be over! Insurance Claims would take EVERYTHING!!!.
Sincerely, WRIDR
