| Whenever I pass someone who's going really slow, I check to see if it's an old person. Probably nine times out of ten, it is. |

| once you reach age 70 you should have to take an in car exam with an instructor every two years in order to get a license renewal. just because some old bastard can see the on the vision test enough to pass doesn't mean they should still be on the road |

| When I was growing up in FL, which is chalk-full of old people, I would see at least 1 story per week in the newspapers talking about some old guy having a heart attack at the wheel and driving into a lake, or some old person who would drive into the front of a store. Plus it's hilarious to see them with their huge cataract glasses on. |

also, if, from behind, you don't see anyone in the seat AND they're going slow it's most definitely an old person.
know someone whose car got totaled by an old lady who floored the gas pedal by mistake in a shopping mall parking lot. |

And God be praised for that. Can you imagine how dangerous it would be if they drove fast? |
