Well, I can think of a few things. They tend to drive slowly due to bad reaction time, so when they pull out of a driveway or something like that, they often force the oncoming driver to slow way down. Also, I've seen a lot of times when they will put on the blinker as they go around a curve (not a corner, just a curve) this can cause confusion; especially when the curve is 2 lane and you think they put the blinker on to merge into your lane. That has happened to me more than once.

They often don't see everything that is around them until the very last second, which has obvious consequences.

And I think the biggest problem (that is often overlooked) is that when they took the test to get their license (if they had to) the rules of the road were MUCH different, so they may not be up to the standards of modern driving conditions.

they're also notorious for their habit of not dying.

I can't add anything constructive, sorry...all my ideas were taken.

But what the #### is the world going to do when I'm 85 and motoring around in whatever 500 hp car I have at the time? People are going to have to be careful, because if I have all those slow reaction times and bad vision, I could be a real danger going 100 mph and weaving in and out of traffic. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
