Thread: What irritates me

Tweet

Well, as my Grandfather used to say to me when I was a kid giving him a hard time, "Some day you get old too!" Life has a strange way of teaching us lessons and none more humbling than getting older.

I fit into most of the scenarios you listed and actually for the first time in my life see the end of my driving days approaching rapidly..........maybe not for a few years, but it is coming.

The one thing I have learned is that our necks and backs don't swivel like they once did so we have a hard time turning around to check behind us. I use my rearview mirrors more and more all the time. Reflexes also diminish and I take it slower and more cautiously than I used to, and let's not even talk about eyesight !

So, before we get too cocky about how older people drive we better think twice because MUCH faster than you realize it will be YOU that someone is bitching about.

Oh, and yes, I do drive with my left foot on the brake, but that is so I can pull a holeshot on the guy in the lane next to me.
