Why Old People Shouldn'd drive

[Apex381]

she was stopped outside that window with her foot on the brake. next thing you know, for who knows what reason, shes got the accelerator pegged and the AWD audi just leveled everything and everybody in her way. she never let off the gas and was still floored when she hit the rear wall. all in all everyone was lucky. someone really should have died in that carnage. the receptionists desk faced the window and she watched her crash thru the glass and push her 70 feet backwards. she is still driving by the way

Good lord that's horrible.

Last April I got run over by some old man in a huge box truck. I was riding my bike to work complete with blinking lights and wearing a day-glo orange jacket, when this old guy just t-boned me while I had the right away. He literally took his left turn through me. He then parked his fucking truck on top of me and got out to ask me if I was still under his truck... after he could hear me screaming he got back into his truck and backed up about 1 inch, just enough to grind me into the pavement more. He finally rolled off me after some awesome black lady got in his face and cussed him out. Then he came up to me and asked if I wanted him to "drag me out of the road".

The funny thing is that the cops showed up and didnt even cite him. Later they acted like it was my fault becasue "dont you know its dangerous to ride a bike?". Needless to say legal action has been taken but this old fuck is still out there driving around and my right leg will never be the same.

That sucks, sorry to hear that, Blunt. Id be pissed if me, or any of my loved ones, had to endure the emotional damage of being plowed into by some old hag, and having their face scarred.

When I was on a CHP ride-along, there was some old lady we had to revoke a license from. She was driving on the wrong side of the road, and had a couple cars swerve to miss, then when she finally came back from lala land, she drove off into a small drainage type ditch, taking out about 5 mailboxes on the way. The old lady didnt remember shit when we asked what happened, she couldnt even remember where she was coming from.

I think after 60 there needs to be an annual DRIVING and visual test.

Edit: Yes, Leaf is a fucking retard.

Old people who get their licenses yanked keep driving anyway. The state/govt can take the license away, but not the car.

[blunttech]

p.s. what really pisses me off is people with the handicapped tag or license plates driving like maniacs. That pisses me off to no end.

For some reason 99.9% of the cars I see with handicap plates or placards drive like their handicap involves use of the right foot. They're always 10 below the limit and have to slow down another 10mph any time the road strays from 100% laser straight.

God forbid you arrive at a 4-way stop after they do. They'll stare at you for the 20 seconds it takes for you to reach the stop sign, wait until you've been at a stop for a solid 4-5 seconds, and then right when you decide to go yourself they swivel their heads forward and hit the gas. They typically have no idea that you had even started to move, let alone that you had to spike the brakes to keep from hitting them.

Alternately if they're at a stop sign but your direction has no stop, they usually look left, look right, stare right at you, then pull out anyway. When you slam on the brakes and hit the horm they look back at you and come to a stop right in the ^%&@ing middle of your lane. When you come to a stop 3 feet from their door, horn blaring they give you a blank stare for a few seconds, they keep going as if nothing ever happened and they had just stopped to look at a pretty sunset.

Of course in my town most handicap placards/plates are probably issued for alzheimer's or severe palsy...

I think it should be as soon as you have a stroke, heart attack, hip surgery, need an oxygen tank or something like that, then you should be required to do yearly driving tests. my grandparents are in their 70s and are both fine drivers, but they are very healthy people, neither of them have had any major medical problems.

I'm in line with this. Or when they issue you a Handicap tag that hangs from your mirror. That tag is so grossly abused it's stupid.

My grandfather drove till he was 95 and scared me from the first time I got in the car with him till the last time. He would have kept driving but we had the state revolk his driving privledges and the estate sold his wheels. He had alzheimer's, it was sad.

^^ srsly.
I'm sure it was some old bastard who didn't know how big their huge ass BUICK was that swiped my wife's Honda about a month ago. Oh, did they leave any info? Hell no!

I once worked pumping gas and came across and scary example of elderly driver. First of all I had to take her card into the store for her cause she couldn't make the trip from her van to the store. She was shaking (stroke?), could barely speak and I noticed she had a trucker ball on her steering wheel cause she couldn't handle using both hands on the wheel. The worst part was when I handed her the receipt to sign. She just scribbled a blob on the paper unable to sign her own signature. Elderly testing needs to be done. We must get stroke lady off the road.
