Older age is not often the factor....most times, not. It is the total disregard of others. Cases in point:
High speed through roundabouts...the speed is 20, not 35 - 45. Many are service vendors. Some are "The Villages" cars. For the most part, these people are not old. Some are just Villagers or visitors.
Stops signs are NOT decorations...you are supposed to STOP, regardless of whether you are on a bicycle, in a car, or a cart or whatever age you happen to be. I have actually been honked at for stopping at a stop sign. I was also honked at for not pulling out into the intersection on a yellow caution light to make a left turn after waiting for the traffic coming straight across in front of me from the other direction to clear. The lady behind me would have had to totally enter the intersection on red to turn after me if I had pulled out. This was at 466 & Southern Trace. She followed me on 466 to Buena Vista and then turned in at Laurel Manor....musta been late...shoulda left sooner. She was not old.
The trash collections trucks come through our neighborhood like Grant took Richmond on their way to the dump, next route, or whatever.
There's lots more, but you get the picture.
What doesn't get done today will keep until tomorrow....if we try and ensure that there is a tomorrow by slowing down and/or obeying traffic laws. Give everyone a chance to at least get old or older, whichever.
Putting my soapbox away now. Thanks.
