hehe well see IF a teen may drive bad , can be lack of experience or youthful exhuberance gone amuck drag racing..ie that what got me into trouble at 18 drag racing /php-bin/shared/images/icons/smile.gif But ye see..often they still live with parents, so they can ground ya take away the car keys etc.
lemme tell ya I WISH I coulda done that with my elderly uncles ! /php-bin/shared/images/icons/smile.gif lol I had 2 of em..at one extreme was UNKA Tony..he never went over 20mph even ON the freeways. Boy did I hate to have to have HIM pick me up at the airports to visit my mom after my dad died. Then there was UNKA Paul..speed deamon from hell in his youth and HE never changed. Now frankly there is no way u can take away the car keys or ground a 79 yr old man LOL WHEW DOGGIES..as his vision failed and reflexes he still did mach 10 on the streets even where it said 45mph he was doing 90 ! SHEEESH. Ya can not TELL the old ones NOT to drive no more ..nor take away their car keys nor ground em..but sure wish I could have a few times !
Luckily there ARE people whom drove all their lives when they do get older still use common sense and realise that maybe they are not having reactions as fast as they once did ..nor seeing nor hearing as well, or that their meds can screw up their vision and they opt NOT to drive no more they still have sense to know when they can endanger others...but ya take some like my two uncles dunno if it a guy thing or not and even pushin 80 they still think they stud muffins and can drive like when they were 25 or 40 or even 60 lol NOT !
In many an insurance office the rates for new teen drivers are sky high till they hit 25 ie some insta maturity level they thought up ..they see the same problems at the other end when we all are about to check OUT of life and driving but they do not DO anything about it really ! Not sure why that is..guess they figure it be some insult to them all to up their rates as being riskier drivers past 70...but I am from the baby boom generation...OMG some day like 20 yrs from now the USA will have like THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of senile old foggies ON THE ROADS and I may be one OF EM ! so LOOK OUT YALL !
Its sad when 9 people loose their lives with any car or driver somehow flying out of control thru a crowd like that. COULD be some mechanical failure of the vehicle..could been maybe some one may be TOO old to drive ! I hope in 20 yrs they sort of solve that dilemma of what exactly to say or do when WE all get too old to drive ! Personally I think I wont drive when i get way older,..but many prob will keep on driving when they get up there in age 20+ yrs from now...and it will be that ex pot head HIPPIE generation, i belong to doing the driving, lol god help us all ! /php-bin/shared/images/icons/smile.gif jk
