A daily activity done by almost every human being in the world requires using several aspects of your brain. Your brain is what helps you complete the simple and over-used action which is called, driving. Driving takes proper training and tests before being able to safely drive on your own. It comes with practice and theory learning. Nevertheless, your brain is helping you in every way possible. There are at least seven brain structures/regions/lobes that are used while driving. The list includes: The monoamines, including the dopamine and norepinephrine; The cerebral hemispheres, mainly the cerebrum and in the hindbrain the cerebellum; The occipital lobes used for sight, and lastly, both left and right hemisphere.

A stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in your brain, and blood cannot flow through. It may also occur when a blood vessel in your brain tears and bleeds inside your brain. A lack of oxygen may damage or cause cell death in the left side of your brain. When the cells of your brain are damaged or die, you may lose control of certain body functions. Depending on how your body reacts to the stroke, you may also have problems moving, seeing, or even having any sensation in the right side of your body. Your ability to drive would be strongly effected if you had a massive stroke in the left hemisphere of your brain. Due to the left hemisphere controlling the right side of your body, not having the ability to control the gas/break with your right foot and leg, along with not being able to steer the wheel with your right hand and arm can cause a serious collision. You would be in a serious situation and if able, you will be forced to try to use your left side of your body to safely get off the road to help the safety of other people on the road. If your vison is effected, it is possible that the occipital lobes have been effected as well. In conclusion, having a stroke in the left hemisphere of your body will conclude with losing control of the right side of your body along with possibly losing your
