Angry old ppl shouldnt b allowed to drive..

ok im kinda pissed .. ive had my car for about 2 months now. i go to work today and park it in da parkin lot, in da next 45min a guy comes up and says does anyone own a red civic, im like yea y?? hes like well i was down there parked rite next to u and dis lady who was in the lot backin out hit ur bumper, realized she couldnt get out and kept pushin so ur whole bumper is scratched up but she left.. so i go down and see it, theres two thick *** lines straight across and da paint is scraped off. LUCKILY da guy saw da whole thing happen and got her plate number, so we filled the report and the cops got her to come bak. it was some old *** lady who cant even drive and she said "she misjudged" . im still mad as hell tho so i juz needed to vent..
no offense but old people shouldnt be allowed to drive...

Even old people are heartless. Seriously, if you screw up somebody's car, don't just run off.

Do you guys remember that old dude that ran over a whole bunch of people in Cali?

I think that in order to keep thier liscense the elderly should sacrifice their social security. Because if they are able to drive then they obviously do not need the SS checks. and if they need the money they should not be driving

I think the same thing.....they shouldn't drive...some old guy was backing out of a space where I work at a food store, and kept going in reverse, until he knocked down one of the cement barriers in front of the store and drove backwards into the store, shattering the large windows and lower wall.....there were people there and i think a few might have gotten hurt......it made the paper here and supposedly he didnt know he had so little room to back up.....

I agree they should re-take the test once they have reached a certain age.

"But that's discrimination."

ROFL

I think that's stupid because you can also say that right now the DMV is discriminating against every kid that is 15 years old and 9 months to the effect that THEY can't drive until they pass a test.

I hate old people. I like to have fun with them though by tail gating them when their going slow and all they do is look in the rear view mirror and not pay attention to whats in front of them and this one lady almost hit another car that was stopped to make a left turn. I laughed and felt bad, so I backed up off of her.

Half the time, old people do not realize how slow or fast theyre going, so they have to correct themselves and usually by then its too late for their brains to tell their arms and foot to react.

I agree with the driving test. I think once they reach retirement they need to take a driving test every 6 months to make sure they are coherent as to understanding signs and their own car.

Dont these old people have younger family members to help them out??

and everyone always says be nice to your elders...they are worse then us young drivers...they dont give a fu(k about anyhting but themselfs...i could careless how old or young you are when your driving and you do some stupid crap like not look and come into the lane im driving in and make me drive onto the shoulder and almost hit the middle divider on the parkway, your dam right i went around him and but his *** off..

you poeple might say im no better then those poeple but i think im a very good driver...old poeple suck no matter what, i got a 84 year old grandfather, he should be able to drive out of his driveway. i get worried as hell for him.

its also nice when your doing 80-85 with the flow and bam theres a lil old woman who can barly see over the steering wheel, and is driving 50 mph. thats how poeple die. (old poeple shouldnt be able to drive when they start loosing sight and ****) including me. when i hit that age i should have to do a retake of the test and ****...too many poeple these days are getting killed for all the wrong reasons..

misjudging is one thing - (not like I believe that for a nano-second)

being fvcking rude and hitting someones car and not leaving a note and your information is another -

thats what would **** me off the most -

at least you were lucky enough to have a witness to take her information so her insurance will cover your damages -

still, the inconvenience from her ignorance is annoying to say the least -

yea, i was driving straight with a green light and someone came across my lane from the other directoin at an intersection without an arrow. It was two old ladys in a lexus. I didn't haev time to stop so i slammed into hte side of her lexus. It was obviously her fault. One old lady gets out and shes like "Dont you know how to drive. We had the right of way." And I was like WTF! To make it even worse she had her friend in the car who also said they had the right of way. So i was out numbered. Her friend also made a big deal about everything and demanded to go to the hospital. DAYUM! Then the sheriff came out and started bitchin at me sayin it was my fault. My lawyers cleared it up fine and they finally realized it wasn't my fault .

leaving after hitting u is plain ignorant.....i share the same opinion about the periodic driving tests, old people cut me off all the time,

last night im on the highway and the lane to my right is ending....doesnt an old person not signal, not check their blind spot, and almost hit me, i swerved into the left lane and cut off a buick rendevous, it could have been so bad, i loooked in the rearview and his headlight was above my spoiler

thats two accidents that old guy could have caused!

yesterday i had this older hispanic woman that was driving behind me swerving half way into the other lane and would ride my *** then slow way down. i noticed that she was putting makeup on and crap. this happend the whole way home a 30 minit drive. she almost ran into me like 3 times due to stop lights and not looking ahead. she almost hit like 10 cars on the highway due to swerving into other lanes and at one point she was actualy on the grass going 65+ the worst thing was she finaly turned off and passed me and i saw a new born in the back seat. i wish i would have goten her plate numbers but she turned off to fast.
