    Isn't it great to get to that age and STILL be able to drive? I lost my Gran about 5 yrs ago, and I'd gladly be a passenger with her now the whole way up the motorway to Dublin and back! :)

    The problem Is alot of people get to that age and can't drive though and are still on our roads.

    Sorry to hear about your gran.

    Couldn't agree with you more. Complete scumbags. If they fell over, they would step over them and walk on.

    They are irritating but not half as irritating as some young cretin driving up your arse in a tacky car. I know which one I fervently want to end up on life support.

    One of those young ones in his souped up Corolla flashed me at the weekend almost in a way of thanks when I sped up. Could see himself and a car behind him weaving in and out over the centre line markings.

    I had sped up from doing 50 in a 50 zone to about 70 when going into the 80 zone.

    Exactly! I remember my Gran got robbed in a local supermarket by youngsters distracting her, took her purse while talking sh1te to her. She was never the same after that happened, robbed her of her confidence and independence. Lord Jesus, If I had got near them..... :mad:

    We are ALL gonna be that age sometime, like.....

    Tailgating yes, makes no difference because you know the old farts don't check their mirrors anyway.

    Happens everyday now and I'm getting sick of it tbh

    James, don't ever tailgate me ok, ill slow down just to piss you off. That's what the old person was doing.

    A thread which started with a reasonable discussion regarding old harzadous drivers on our roadshas descended into the old people fighting back by dragging the dicussion completely o/t by dicussing the "young ones are driving too fast in there ****boxes"

    The disproportionate mortality rates among that age group do offer some consolation at least.

    Ever think while tailgating these 'old' people, that they might suddenly break leaving you with a damaged car and a lawsuit??
