Default Old people are great drivers.

This took place about 20feet from where I work.

Headline: A 2003 honda civic driven by xxxx xxxxx 60, of enid, crashed thru the front of Golf USA Monday morning doing 5k in damage. She reported to police that she was going to park and the next thing she remembers was being inside the store.

There is a support column that she clipped and busted the plaster off of. The curb is about 7 inches high in front of the store so she had to be givin it some go. And everyone complains that kids are sh*tty drivers. FOUR!!!!!!!

I really think they need to pass a law that once a person is over 60 they have to take a driving test anually or atleast every other year!

i agree but the problem with that is that only people that come out to actually vote about stuff like that is the old people with nothing but time on their hands. they could never make that a federal law, therefore every state or county would have to have their own elections on it. it would be great down here being as this is a prime place to retire to, there are more old people than anything... (in most areas at least).

HAHA I wrote an essay for Senior English about how bad senior citizen drivers are and how annoying their driving is.

I might be able to dig up some kind of old newspaper pics..... how do you not notice a person laying halfway on your hood and halfway in your car, not to mention i think he was still alive for awhile.

*No pics but here is the article about it.

Old people are the worst damn drivers around and it makes no sense because they've been doing it for longer than anyone else.

this happened a few yrs ago. old lady hit a dude. he was stuck in the windshield, She parked her car in her garage and let the poor guy die there because she said she got scared. he was pleading with her to call 911 but she didn't. He finally bled to death after a whole day stuck in her windshield in her garage.. She was charged with 2nd degree murder I think.. Sucks to be that gadaam stupid..
