I'm not trying to be rude, but some senior drivers (age 65+) can not drive!

So far to date in just 6 months I have 4 counts of near fatal accidents due to senior drivers.

The first time, some old women was on a "right turn only" lane as I was coming from a stop sign to turn left. The damn women didn't turn right....instead she was heading straight and missed my driver side by 6 inches. :mad:

Second time, I was at a red light on a two lane street and I was on the left lane. The light turns green and as a begin to go, some old women from the intersecting street pulls a right turn. Now this would have been cool with she stayed on the right lane....but the women slowly pull right into my lane when she obviously saw me coming. I was so ****ed because that's how I got into my first accident (along that way).

Third time, I was on the far left lane at a red light waiting to make a left turn while there was a car in front of me. The intersecting road had the green light. So as some of the cars were making a left turn, some old guy in a van almost f*cking hit the car in front me......the guy was turning into the wrong lane and almost did a head on collision. :eek:

Now, the fourth time happened yesturday and my goodness I was scared as f*ck. I was just crusing on the road, ready to go in a sucide lane to make a left turn. As I pull into the suicide lane there is this old guy that decides to make a left turn from the local nursery home. Sounds good enough until the guy just kept on going straight while in the suicide lane. The car just kept coming straight for me. :eek: Lucky I swired back onto the road and nearly missed the guy by some f*cking inches. I swear I could literally grab ahold of the guys mirror if I stuck my hand out the window. I was so f*cking lucky there was no oncming car in the lane I swired into....I would have been f*cked.

But yea......I'm just venting right now....

true, some of them older drivers just can't cut it. I wonder if driving now has changed from when they used to drive. Then again maybe it's alztimers(sp?), and I really hate it when they just drive hella slow, I mean if I'm old and going to be dead soon I'd drive as fast as I can, there isn't too much time for me left.

old people suck
and smell funny

:p

yeah some are horrible drivers, most cant see over the steering wheel and others just dont drive enough to drive decently well

anyways, i think there should be more DMV testing and better public transportation systems. the big reason older folks wont take the bus because its not cool to wait 1/2 hour in the sun on a HOT summer's day. if the public trans system was better im sure most people would take the bus then drive (gas money etc)

I'll just quote myself from an older thread about this :p

Senior citizens make up a strong section of the voting population. Which means politions are afraid to touch the subject of increased testing with a 10 foot pole for fear of hearing from the elderly voting leagues. Just one more reason youunger people should vote instead of complaining..... but i'm just rambling now.......

That's what I would do. If I die.....eh...atleast I know I have done something with my life and most likely would crash and die in my favorite car........Porsche GT2. :p

HAHAHA that's so true.....

I doubt Buick will still be around when we get old. I really don't see how are generation will be into big ass American sedans.
