I honked my horn and flashed my lights, but there really wasn't anything else to do.

So, to the "driver" of the gray Honda that was there a 6:35 PM Saturday:

1) I hope you and any passengers are OK
2) The DMV has flexible hours so you can go and TURN YOUR LICENSE IN, before you get killed or kill someone else
I had my motorcycle shipped here from Minnesota this past February. After about ten or so rides I decided that it was no longer worth the risk to life and limb riding here in The Villages, and sold it. Wife is much happier.

I've always been of the opinion that, after a certain age (65?) there should be mandated road tests every other year for a person to retain their driver's license. We'd all be much safer.
