Even back when I was learning to drive, I've always struggled with staying in my lane, turning, and parking. Everything just looked too close!!! I always end up parking too far from the gas tank. Sometimes, I park a bit too close or far in a parking space. One time, I hit someone pulling into a parking space because I couldn't tell how close or far their car was compared to mine.. On a daily basis, the car looks WIDER than the road from my perspective!!!
I tried online depth perception tests, but the ball and finger tests seem to show my depth perception being fine. But if my depth perception's fine, what's wrong with me when driving??? Why can't I tell the distance between my car and other things??? I can't even turn out from a stop sign without hitting the curb!!!
It's not just driving. Sometimes I walk into the side of the doorway instead of through it, and I bump onto things by accidentally walking too close to them. When driving, I always wear shaded lenses because the sun just blacks out everything else when it's in my face all the time. My next eye check probably isn't until the next 2 years.. But I think something's wrong if the car is wider than the road, and I can't even go without bumping into the side of the doorway, turn out without hitting the curb, or pass other vehicles without them looking like they're merging towards me..
Any advice or suggestions? What could be the problem if this isn't depth perception?
