I've had a few near hits with old people driving. They are a hazard and most of them shouldn't be on the road. Their reflexs are far to slow.

Acaulty, 82 isent that old, Its still old but my grandpa is like 60 something and he still keeps fit, hes got better reflexes then ever and he can drive just fine, I only think that like 80 + is pushing the driving limit, you know?

lol i found out about that about 2 hours ago when my teacher talked about it and said old people shouldn't drive.... then on the board he drew an old person + car and an X over it

I think they should have a driving evaluation at 75.

yea my 87 year old grandfather used to drive without a license and the dumbfuck hit everything he saw. the car was great but after a little while with him driving it there were dents everywhere. we even found a looong scratch alongside the car. probably from him scraping against someone in a parking lot or something. what an idiot.

A Toronto woman hit a pedestrian, dragged the person, caught to the car, to her house, went in and went to sleep. The next day the children found the body and all the blood. Old people suck.
