Default Bad drivers

Is this just a retirement community thing? I remember riding with my grandfather years ago in Bradenton when we came from Ohio to help celibrate his 90th birthday. He drove right through stop signs and red lights. Not fast, but he scared the poop out of me. Being that I'm just now moving to TV, I realized I must become much more of a defensive driver or I'm going to get creamed. As a young man my brothers and I used to comment about near misses from the "whiteheads". Now I are one. The fact is old people had just about as many accidents as teenagers.

I also have witnessed some seasoned TV residents who still don't know the rules about driving on the round-abouts. Some have even argued with me about the rules while, according to the round-about flyer and the round-about signs, they were clearly wrong. I'll bet many of the people reading this post don't drive them correctly.
