I like driving in TV as every one is so friendly, as they always wave, and let me know I am a number one driver, and give me a shouted greeting as they pass.
I expect one day when my reactions are not so good I will have to slow down a bit, but until then, happy motoring folks!
Interesting....

At first I thought this was somewhat offensive, particularly to those nonagenarians that are competent drivers

Then I thought it was quite funny, as intended

Now I'm thinking it's actually very sad, because there is a lot of truth in it.

I'll probably swing to anger if one of them hits me, but remorse if they are the one that ends up dead.

Good post!
