Some people should not be allowed to drive.

[Shell Beau]

At lunch, I was behind someone going 30 in a 55 mph zone. They had traffic in my lane backed up. I couldn't get in the other lane to pass them either. If you do not have the confidence to go the speed limit, you should not drive. I, of course, understand that there are times when one has to drive extra slow.

1. I can't help it but

I agree. It drives me nuts too.

2. It should be a lot harder to EARN and KEEP a drivers license.

3. I have a neighbor that scares the hell out of me.

She's about 75 - 80 years old and lives by herself. It scares me when I see her come out of her house using her aluminum walker to get to the car. Then she gets behind the wheel and drives off.

I know she has to take care of the necessities of life ( groceries, pay bills, etc) but I believe she is just a tragedy waiting to happen none the less.

4. You have no one to blame but yourself. In a situation like the one

you describe, it is incumbent on you to ride the offending driver's bumper and flash your high beams while laying on your horn. Sheesh! Where did you learn to drive?

6. Trust me, I wanted to do that so bad!!

But I always feel so bad when I pass those cars and see little old men or women behind the wheel!!

5. My sister was nearly killed by a bad driver

My sister was walking along a sidewalk when an 80 woman driving a lexus pulled into a parking space, but accidentally floored it, hopped a 1 foot curb, and smashed my sister into a building. Her lower leg was crushed and utterly destroyed between the bumper and the brick of the window, and her body went through the plate glass window of the store. It's been years and she's still in recovery, and will probably be in some semblance of pain the rest of her life, and unable to do the things she loved most like skiing and dancing.

The woman was on the road again within a week. They didn't even take away her liscence.

Some people definately shouldn't be allowed to drive.

7. Wow! That is horrible! I'm glad she is okay now!

That driver shouldn't have been allowed back on the road. That is a shame.

8. She's not really ok

She was a highly active woman, and now three years later she's still essentially handicapped. Can't move one of her legs at all. In constant pain. Had to move because her apartment she loved didn't have an elevator.

Still she's alive, but it just pisses me off that the woman was back on the road and tra la laing within days.

[Shell Beau]

9. I understand! I meant alive.

My brother was killed in a car accident, but it was just his car involved and he was at fault. I hate that your sister lives in pain. I would be sick too knowing that woman is out there driving again.

10. "People on 'ludes...

should not drive!"

[Zomby Woof]

11. You shouldn't talk that way

That could have been someone's hubby in that car. :P

(Or someone on the way to see their hubby, since I want to be fair here)

[Shell Beau]

12. LOL!!

:P

13. I live in Southern California. I've got tons of bad driver stories.

And some of them range from crazy to border-line insanity.

[Mutley]

14. I agree.

People should have to re-take their driving tests every time they renew their license, and I mean the written and the driving portion of the exam as well as the vision and hearing.

15. Best thing the state of PA ever did

was take away my grandfather's license. They should have done it sooner. He was a menace on the road. Don't get me wrong, I loved the man and it pained me to see him get to the point where he was a danger to himself and others. I wouldn't get in a car with him driving for a good 10 years before he got grounded and he knew how I felt.
