Old people who still think they can drive
 
Anyone over the age of 70 deserves removing from the roads or should be retested

I never usually see them that old either, but coming back from RAF base today there were THREE of them and they all tried to force me off the road, first one at a roundabout and obviously doesn't understand that oncoming vehicles get priority and pulled out at what must've been at least 3rd gear. Then another clearly didn't check their mirrors and nearly bumped into the side of me when I was overtaking on the motorway then a third almost rammed be up the a*se when I was trying to turn and didn't think to slow down as I slowed down ....

They're annoying :mad:

Rant over :spin2:

i agree they should be made to sit a test again around the age bus pass comes in if they are going to drive (and thats coming from a predestrian)

Yeah you get the really small one's as who cant even see out off the front window makes you wonder how they can drive

I mentioned this in my english mock exam. I said they were more the cause of car accidents then young people. I was kinda a bitch to them...

My dad hates them, and i think they need to retake there test.

Yea they should have to retest!

My great auntie and my Grandad still drive - they're 86 and 84!

Dad is really worried about them still driving, my auntie was in a crash not long ago, and my grandad only drives because my Grandma doesn't drive, so he takes her places xD

A few months back, I was driving with my dad along a 40 road and there was an old couple in a car right in front of us - I swear they were going at 10. After a few minutes, I was getting very impatient as I had to get to work, so I honked at them. They then decided to stop right in the middle of the road and turn into a ****ing bus lane!

Lmao there was this old lady , who was driving a decent car.
Her car was like going wonky from side to side.
Then she just randomlly stopped.
I found it funny xD

Some of them think they have the right of way due to the number of years they have been driving. :rolleyes:

Its ain't cute if they kill you or anyof your family, if they would retake they test its fine.

I'm a driver and I think this is ABSOLUTELY ********** ANNOYING !

This and traffic jams. Sometimes I just want to leave my car in the middle of the road and take it back the morning after. Serious.

CiaraD 22-06-2009 06:58 PM

Out were I live there's a pile of them lol.
It's funny because they all turn off at the same place.

Aww I know :love:
Younger ones annoy me more though, pimping along with their music blaring. And then they always beep the horn and start shouting when we walk past. And when they rev up the engines :shocked:

My blood pressure goes through the roof in traffic jams, but at least you've not got a coffin dodger trying to kill you first

There was a story on Grey's Anatomy where this old man had some spinal thing where he couldn't feel his feet and he wouldn't stop driving. He had his huge crash and loads of people got injured. All because he was too proud.

I know it's not real,but something like that could happen in real life!
