I don't really care but today must have been our day in the barrel. Driving around the general vicinity was outrageous today. Observing it and not getting hurt is free entertainment. Whatever, it will never change.

Having 6 eyes would make driving here a little less stressful. Order of the day is, watch out for everybody.

Of all the roads I've driven in my life I've never understood how some drivers as old as they may be how they survived this long running a stop sign, turning right while without looking left in their turn. I've observed that about 90% of the drivers doing this are in their 80's or above.

At least you didn't say they were women.

Which may be true.

I think they are folks from the city who never owned a car.

Running to get under the bed.

Driving up St. Charles today in my cart (yes, I was in the diamond lane), a senior citizen in a baby Buick SUV pulled out in front of me and I get the finger for honking my horn. Someday........

i simple request turns into bashing others. such is the way here. triple a may be your best answer

[GoodLife]

Everyone who posts on TOTV are perfect drivers who never speed, stop at signs, use turn signals etc

An amazing coincidence that all the bad drivers do not post here. It's the other guys. Or gals.

Drive north and south on Buena Vista and/or Morse Blvd during season and if you make it without cursing, using your second finger, horn, yelling at the other driver or having your automobile bent, you passed any driving class offered anywhere...

AARP classes are great! They also offer it online, and I learned a lot from it. By taking (and passing the test) them, you will get discounts on your insurance premiums.

One of the things I learned that it can be very difficult for an elder to turn his neck to see what was behind the car. Hence they tend not to bother to turn their necks, hoping nothing would happen.

At 66, you're a kid compared to many on the roads in TV. But perhaps you'll want to take a defensive driving course to learn how to avoid getting tangled up with the super, super seniors that can't hardly walk, don't see well at night, but still drive.

Boy. I say Boy. I hope you aren't talking about me because I will drive over and whomp your ears down.

I was there this morning and saw a notice for a class this month. I think it cost twenty bucks.

Edit...being somewhat of a grammar cop, I just realized my post implies that the notice cost twenty bucks. Of course, I meant that is the cost of the class.

Kudos to you for even admitting...that you could use a refresher course.


My totally unscientific observation, is that probably 60%-70% of drivers around here (both autos & carts)...could benefit greatly from the same thing.


And yet, maybe only 2%...will admit it.
