I usually never trust other drivers. I was always taught years ago to drive defensively. And always know your surroundings, and way to escape a problem if there is a problem. Half of these people are lost and the other half don’t know how or don’t care. And don’t even get next to anybody in a turnabout. They go left from the right lane and they go right from the left lane. There’s no rhyme or reason why people do things. Just stay safe and protect yourself.

Totally agree with the driving but on a different note.....I was racing my mountain bike on Sunday and saw a group of people ahead. They looked older. I thought....."I've gotta catch those geezers, they might be in my age class!"

Sadly you all just think you don't drive like an old person. I've seen each of you drive and you are old drivers. Sadly you just don't recognize it.

I’m female but I’m still using Clint Eastwood’s take on aging. He was once having a conversation with his friend/songwriter Toby Keith. Toby asked him how he keeps going every day. Clint’s response: “I just get up every morning and go out. And I don’t let the old man in.” Toby was so impressed with that outlook that he wrote a song called “Don’t Let the Old Man In.” God knows the number of my days and I choose to give Him praise for each morning I wake up. And, like Clint, I choose to wake up each day with this perspective……don’t let the old woman in!

Me too. Although the wife's getting a little annoyed standing out in the porch.

I learned in Driver's Ed decades ago to watch any and all who are driving near me and expect that they might do something stupid. So far (fingers crossed) it seems to have worked. BTW, I am particularly vigilant while on my golf cart as we are easy targets for the careless. Best of luck to everyone out there.

You know I 100% agree with you but I’m like you & I think just like the bad drivers, they probably think they are good drivers & I’m a bad driver. As we get older we think differently & we think we’re the only good drivers & everyone else can’t drive. But I think exactly like you! We live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area where there’s 3 to 4 million people that may drive & I get people blowing the horn at me, & so far nobody has given me the finger yet. So maybe I could be one of those bad drivers, & presently I’m 73 yrs. old. It’s hell to get old!

So we have a reason to live longer. Can't die till the toilet paper is all used up.

......Give them a break and drive slowly and safely when in a parking lot (which STRANGELY is where some people SPEED).....OR another strategy would be for you to leave town. No one HID from you the fact that OLDER PEOPLE live in The Villages............the problem may be reflected in the mirror !!!!!! |

Not to worry in the near future we will all be driving SAFE self-driving vehicles. And by then MAYBE (?) in the Villages there will be enough lanes for the winter traffic..........MAYBE.
