-- Posted by xoAllixs0n at 11:12 am on July 5, 2009 I love older people, I do. However, in all honesty, they need to be taken away from the drivers seat. I was driving along my town's main road, and an older woman is a few hundred yards in front of me driving at 10 mph in a 40 mph speed zone. She has her right directional on, as she wants to turn into the post office. Well, she turns a few yards too soon, and ends up on the sidewalk. Sigh. -- Posted by wOlF at 11:13 am on July 5, 2009 ROFL -- Posted by Sqi 8000 at 11:14 am on July 5, 2009 lol.. not all are that bad though.. -- Posted by Shush at 11:14 am on July 5, 2009 Some old people can drive much better than many younger people. Ageism is not the answer. -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 11:15 am on July 5, 2009 I'm more for having people have to take a driver's test every 5 years. -- Posted by jham915 at 11:15 am on July 5, 2009 Haha wow... That would be a site to see. -- Posted by RIMHfire at 11:16 am on July 5, 2009 I've heard a story of an old couple that turned onto the WRONG SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY and just proceeded to drive along there way. That's bad. -- Posted by xoAllixs0n at 11:17 am on July 5, 2009 Quote: from HarrySunderland at 2:15 pm on July 5, 2009 I'm more for having people have to take a driver's test every 5 years. I agree. Even 5 years is a big gap, though. Possibly every year. -- Posted by Mimic at 11:18 am on July 5, 2009 Oh dear. -- Posted by Spice at 11:18 am on July 5, 2009 Quote: from HarrySunderland at 7:15 pm on July 5, 2009 I'm more for having people have to take a driver's test every 5 years. and who would pay for that? the individual or the government? seeing as it would be a government requirement. -- Posted by newmie66 at 11:19 am on July 5, 2009 I'm sorry, but I HATE getting stuck behind old people that are driving slowly. You either drive the speed limit or stay off the road. It's just as dangerous to go thirty miles per hour below the speed limit than it is to go thirty above. -- Posted by 218 air codet at 11:20 am on July 5, 2009 ur right in one way there so slow -- Posted by Ziggy Stardust at 11:20 am on July 5, 2009 Ye my grandmother drives at 10mph on a 30 or 40mph road. Its really annoying -- Posted by DuBBy at 11:20 am on July 5, 2009 Ageed. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 11:23 am on July 5, 2009 Yeah, but I'm sure there are some young drivers that have done much the same (or are going way over than 40mph). I've seen some older drivers who drive just fine :). -- Posted by White Fate at 11:25 am on July 5, 2009 Quote: from Spice at 2:18 pm on July 5, 2009 Quote: from HarrySunderland at 7:15 pm on July 5, 2009 I'm more for having people have to take a driver's test every 5 years. and who would pay for that? the individual or the government? seeing as it would be a government requirement.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. eh, I disagree with multiple tests. -- Posted by morrisonsMYmuse at 2:47 pm on July 5, 2009 as opposed to young people who think they're indestructable and do 90 in that 40 zone and end up splattered on the pavement... -- Posted by xoAllixs0n at 2:51 pm on July 5, 2009 Quote: from morrisonsMYmuse at 5:47 pm on July 5, 2009 as opposed to young people who think they're indestructable and do 90 in that 40 zone and end up splattered on the pavement... Regardless, our reaction speed is much more quick and precise than that of an 80-year-old. I'm not saying speeding is better than going vastly under the speed limit, but teenagers are overall more in control physically.
