Pensioner Rage
Just thought i would share my experience of my drive home from work today . Driving down the road at 60 kays when found myself behind an old lady doing 40 kays , so i indicated and started to overtake her when she moved over to the middle of the road. So i dropped back in behind her and she moved back in again . I indicated and went to overtake her again and the same thing happened, she moved to the middle of the road again . This happened another two times . When we got to the next set of lights she pulled up next to me , i looked at her and just shook my head . She wound down her window and i asked her what the problem was.Well, did she let me have it ,she used words that i don't even use .She accused me of speeding through a school zone even though it was after 4 o'clock and i was doing the speed limit (60) The she proceded to give me the " you young people of today have no respect" lecture which i thought was funny cos i'm a shade over 50 y.o . Well the lights changed so i gave her a wave and blew her a kiss then took off with her in the next lane flashing her lights at me .
Then at the next set of lights i get stuck again , but luckily the old lady has a green arrow but she stops for a couple of seconds , gives me the finger then drives off .Gees if i ever get this bad i hope someone puts me out of my misery.

LOL, thats funny as. ill never forget one day i was watching a current affair and it was about how the old drivers thought that they were the best drivers on the road and that they weren't a danger to society. anyways while this elderly lady was driving along with the reporter in the car and a camera man she was mid sentence saying "just because we are old doesnt make us any less skillful dri........" Then the reporter cut her off and said " You do realise that you just drove through a STOP sign!!" the old lady jst laughed and said ' oh woops i guess that happens sometimes" I'v never laughed so hard.

God.. I HATE really old drivers. they drive me nuts especially going 20k's under the limit, turning very slowly, brakes so slowly does everything so slow. They shouldn't be on the road at all.
Its funny to see how close they sit to the steering wheel.

the main problem that i have with old drivers is the 'need' to practically stop before making a turn. how hard is it to roll around a corner at 30 or 20. i guess it annoys me more cos im in a manual and i have to go to first

One of the ladies I work with told me her mother drove thru the front of her own house because she put the car in drive instead of reverse. Her reactions were so slow she ran all the way thru the front doors of her house up to one of the internal walls of the house and continued accelerating while the car was up against the wall. She accelerated for so long and created so much smoke that the next door neighbours thought the house was on fire.
But only young people are dangerous drivers.

LOL, this happened to my old KB laser. it was parked out the front of a bank and some old bloke hit the gas instead of the brake. he managed to push my car over a 200mm steel barrier, up 4 stairs and into an ATM at the bank. He then drove off and wasnt going to report it cos he said ' my car doesnt have a scratch'  well my laser was written off $2000 of damage.
Bloody old coots

haha did u tell him he needed new glasses jks
olde people just look straight ahead and dont look around them ( as in the driveing surroundings..red lights...stop sighns...speed limits etc) as with younger people we look everywhere.....hot chicks...hot cars.....auto places everywhere except the road.....and we can still do the speed limit and drive in a straight line etc.....( haha jks)
but yeh seriously the older generation should lern the up to date road rules (i aint saying i know all of them but i can tell u i know more new/road rules then the older peoples) "as back in there days" there wasnt a 8 lane highway there was a dirt single laned road.......look around u you are in the 21st century man
anyway im tired so im going to bed....feel free to argu with me but im just saying what i think and from what i have seen on the roads (im 18 and a lerner)
cheers

.....and watch out for elderly gentlemen in Volvos with hats. Actually, for anyone in a Volvo. In fact, for anyone driving with a hat (or even a baseball cap)
