OMFG… this is why people need to be re-tested… and why the US needs a real license system, and not just the basic BS one we have…

Old age driving licenses ftw.

Old people who drive think they are always right too. Like yesterday there was an old geezer in the right hand lane at a light with a big sign that says RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT. Light turns green and he goes straight and then looks at me like i’m the retarded one.

OH and old people are always in the left lane… doing 10mph under.

i guess props to her for actually looking it up versus the other set of old/retarded drivers who just drive with no lights on.

Exactly what I was thinking. I wouldn’t give this woman crap for still being sane enough to pull over and figure it out before continuing to drive.
