Hate on This: Senior Drivers

by Mat Houchens on September 18th, 2009

Have you ever been driving behind that old school boxed Cadillac that’s going 35 MPH in a 50 and when you look through the back of the window you can’t see anyone?  I would bet my left nut, that it’s a senior citizen behind the wheel.  The only time you’ll see them drive the speed limit is when they are late for their shuffleboard tournament.

I guess I shouldn’t get too mad, their blood flow is weakened and they just don’t have the strength to push down the pedal like they used to.  But that’s not the worst.  I live in Florida and they utilize what is called an “eventual left”.  What this means is they’ll have their left blinker on for 5 plus miles going 15 under the speed limit.  But you can’t pass because after 5 miles where you think they just forgot, they go to turn.

I think I need to turn here...

I think I need to turn here...

I don’t even try to get on the road on bingo nights.  It’s worse than rush hour traffic.  I don’t understand why we can’t just revoke driving priviledges if you can’t figure out how to drive the speed limit without your damn blinker on.  And the old guys that wear the Ray Charles sunglasses when the suns not even out… you probably can’t see as it is and now you’re driving without any kind of light.

Stick to the jazzy’s and stay on the sidewalks.  At least Miss Daisy had the decency to get a driver!
