  • This is why old people shouldn't be allowed to drive.

    Seriously, WTF? Rather then hitting the breaks when she went over the curb the 85 year old idiot just kept flooring it as she drove into the shop, drove through the shop, and then when she hit the back wall just just kept flooring the accelerator so that her tires burn marks into the shop floor. This isn't the first time this has happened either and it's almost routine. On my dad's street some elderly woman was driving 25 mph (the speed limit) and when she stupidly rammed into a parked car she just kept flooring it instead of hitting the breaks. Long story short, she ended up ramming EIGHT different parked cars and then tried to keep driving down the street as if nothing happened so one of my dad's neighbors hoped in his car to flag the stupid ***** down. She claimed she hadn't noticed that she'd rammed into eight different cars and pushed them several feet up on the side walk.

    My solution? Starting at age 60 these old people should be forced to retake the driver's test every year and the slightest mistake or **** up (like not understanding the difference between the break or accelerator) means a permanent life time lose of their driving privileges. These old geezers are so befuddled they're a public hazard and need to get put on a bus.

    Two customers escaped serious injury after an 86-year-old woman accidentally drove her car into a bike shop in Mission Viejo, California.

    Don't get me started on the elderly. They're cranky, they smell bad, they refuse to share their drugs, they can't drive, and they always want more money.

        The ages 25-65 should be considered the 'adult' time.

              I'm going to have to take Oerdin's side on this one.

                At least there would be repurcussions for the teenager.

                  You know what I can't stand about old people? Their tendency to call for broad rules based on a few tidbits of anecdotal evidence.

                    They shouldn't be allowed to drive either. In fact, in this state they already can't without someone over 25 in the car with them until the age of 18 nor can they drive at night.

                      They have the second highest accident rate after teens and we've already drastically curtailed teen driving privileges so we need to start focusing on doing the same to old folks.

                          The problem is that they vote.

                            I believe the analogy was to Oedrin. And yes unfortunately he votes as well.
