Seen before, bit it was a long time ago, so thanks for posting.

Fun fact: 75-year old drivers are in less accidents per driven kilometre than 18-year (male) drivers.

 

[Ennui]

Yes, but we can still make fun of them. They're bad drivers because they're getting old, we're just idiots who drive too fast.

But how many do they cause? Quite a few in my experience.

Also, some guy in a mall parking lot once during christmas season decided to randomly go in reverse, and he backed up into me, didnt realize it, and then drove off. I was like "wtf?"

old drivers really piss me off...tehy go SO SLOW...honestly and they're always in teh passing lane going 40km/h in a 60 km/h zone like seriously


old people shouldn't be allowed to drive unless they take a test every 2-5 months or something

Why not? They're safer drivers than most young ones due to long experience and maturity.

And Senility?

Kind of evens eachother out, don't it?

Yeah, which leaves only reaction time. Thus old people fail.

 

[The Monkey]

But older people drive slower. And besides, the reaction time can be trained up.

And maybe one out of every hundred thousand people are going to actively try to train-up their reaction times.

Until technology allows us to convert old people into robots, they will always suck at driving.

Drunks usually drive slower too. Doesnt help them much.

...yea Wtf Im Gonna Make A Thread About Why Old Ppl Shouldnt Drive And What Just Happened To Me Minutes After I Posted That

 

[CyberPitz]

I've almost been in accidents caused by old people WAY more than anybody under 60. They will always be changing lanes, not paying attention, or just flat out doing something retarded when they don't need to be. I mean, come on, if you drive up next to an old person, and their head is moving worse than your bobble head on your dash, somethings very wrong.

I would have slowed down the moment i saw the plane :\
