at 70 you should lose your license

[unwed_transient]

the lack of respect for the elderly in here is despicable.

the elderly are easy to pick on because:

1. they're not you or anyone with which you identify
2. they have different values than you
3. they are, for the most part, unconcerned with what you care about

people should die at 50? wow.
soylent green? you watch too much tv.
calling someone a faggot and hoping he dies in a fire over a traffic accident? grow up.

it doesn't matter if you're venting. it's uncouth. but it's to be expected, unfortunaly from this generation.

they're assclowns because the elderly vote? flawless. i respect the wisdom of experience age offers. witness the failures of the baby boomers.

Anyways, Old people should die at like 50. They're completely useless..

lol my dads 50 and he is in to 240's and drifting. haha, so not all of em! this thread is full of win. made me laugh.

[revat619]

LOL at this thread.

Fyi, i did a persuasive speech in my oral comm. class last semester on why some old people shouldnt be allowed to drive . The professor thought it was hilarious and yet very informative and persuasive. I made a petition form and some other bull shit as my hand outs and what not. It was awesome. The whole class wanted to sign the form and have me send it in somewhere too. I ended up getting an A on the whole thing.

anyway, the way i see it, if you cant see, hear, simple multi-task (change lanes while looking over your shoulder) or simply drive the fucking speed limit, your ass shouldnt be on the road. I dont care how old you are. I swear though, if one more 89 year old in a tan buick regal slows down the entire san diego morning commute, i'm going postal. I have soooo many near accident stories from old people being old people and stupid WOMEN ON THEIR FUCKING PHONES, its ridiculous

I totally respect the elderly though, i just think SOME of them shouldnt be allowed to operate a motor vehicle cuz its a hazard to theirs and public safety. Simple as that.

[tr4c3]

My town has a handful of elderly community neighborhoods, so they are everywhere around here. While I haven't had any bad run-ins or anything yet, I've had some pretty close calls. The one thing that bothers me now is when they cruise 10 under the speed limit and brake for everything. If you want to drive that slow, whatever, at least pull over and let the other people who have to get places pass you. I deal with them everyday on my way to work. My job is 20 minutes away, it takes me 30-35 minutes to get there.

Uh oh, somebody missed Matlock this morning.

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

Dude all i have to say is WOW.. I can't believe some of the stuff im reading right now... All should die at 70 and 50? Old people are a waste of life? What the fuck is the matter with you guys?!?! So your grand parents all should die in horrible fires and accidents? Why don't u walk up to your grandparents and say hey "Fuck u grandma/grandpa you guys are a waste of fucking life so just die already... I don't give two shits about you anyways cause ur an elderly human being... Sure they do cause some accidents and can be annoying at times but cmon people... They are still human just like you just because they can't fully function properly anymore makes them a waste of life? I Wish i still had my grand parents... I wish they lived to be 100 plus years old... Not die at fucking 60 and 70 which they did by the way... Some of you need to check your self's...

[Farzam]

I know a few good old drivers

But the majority I see need to stick to hoverrounds.


I like old people, cause I can walk up to them and say "you're gonna die soon!"

^This part killed me So by their logic, if they don't move fast enough, I should be able to get up under them and put them into a wall NASCAR style right? At least my old man was "MAN" enough to say, "I can't see so well, I'm not going to drive anymore" with out anyone even having to say anything to him. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

I agree with the term "faggot" or any other term being unnecessary for an incident as minor as this but from our perspective our generation gets the shaft.

Most of our cars (240's, z's, ae86's, etc) will be immediately written off as "totaled" any time there is an accident, the old people (who are usually well off, financially secure, great insurance, and own tank SUV's) go back their lives and discounts like nothing happened. Meanwhile we are left with a paper weight that we must now fix or swap everything over to another shell and or quit and move on.

I can relate to both sides but I feel the pain of losing a car you put your heart and soul into. Granted this didn't happen in this case but happens frequently enough to generate that emotion.

The elderly need regular assessment of their driving abilities annually in order to exercise the "privilege" to drive.

Wisdom of experience and actually having a brain are two entirely different things. Either they vote party-line, or they vote exactly how the AARP tells them.

Just because they're old doesn't make them infallible or excessively smart. They're just older versions of this generation who've made the same mistakes and fallen for the same political tricks.

They've undergone the same lackluster driver's license testing.

About a year ago, I was pulling out of my street, which is a relatively blind intersection, and was immediately greeted by the sight of a Suburban passing none other than my grandmother. Of course, this meant that the Suburban was bearing down on me in my lane, and if I hadn't have gotten my ass over RIGHT THEN, or the Suburban had pulled out just a little while later, I would probably be typing this from a wheelchair or the grave.

Moral of the story: my grandmother shouldn't be driving. She has cataracts in both eyes, drives 30 or 35 in a 45 zone, and pisses people off to the point that they pass her and almost kill me.

Driver's license testing should be mandatory every two years for EVERYONE and every year for people over 65.

Hell, let's add a sticker to the plates of people with DUIs so the police can recognize them and pull them over at will while we're at it.

but they care enough to vote. here's a little secret, 2/3 of the country votes the party line. there's nothing wrong with it. it's how it works here. i never said anyone was infallible, but i did say that older generations are wiser and more experienced than us. therefore they deserve our respect.

[jackjack]

man............. you guys are some mean mofo's. i <3 my 90 year old grandma.

F YOU GUYS







ahahahahaahahah. no seriously though. yeah i know what you mean. i got rear ended as well. old guy said his "foot slipped off the brake". idiot. got a couple of paint chips. whatever.

[snowmansent2hel]

yea beware of buicks and lincolns

[BustedS13]

to address my critics:
when i say "faggot" or "gay" as an insult... it's not for fear of homosexuals, or hate of them. do what makes you happy. i have no beef with gay people.
but i'm tired of people being overly sensitive. there was a time when i could say "that's gay" about something and it was understood that shit was weak. i miss that time. the right to call old people faggots is where i draw my line in the sand.

also, i still hate old people. they're not all Mr. Miyagi. they're more Mr. Magoo than anything. if Mr. Magoo couldn't control his bowels.

They may be wiser, but they're no smarter.

I was referring to the generation gap. And yes, I think most politicians are assclowns not because elderly people voted for them, rather because their focus is reelection - courting votes. And by courting those votes they cater to their constituency (that votes) - OLD PEOPLE. If young people voted, they'd give a damn about our concerns. That was my point.

Are you satisfied with the politicians in office today? I don't know about you, but I'd much rather have someone closer to my age in office with concerns similar to my own. But because younger people don't typically vote in large percentages, I am stuck with people like Nancy Pelosi representing me in Congress.


It was a big deal when Clinton (Bill) got elected because he was the first President not of the WWII generation. He was the first boomer president. The torch passed from the greatest generation to the boomers. And nothing changed.


I do respect age and I do respect wisdom, but that doesn't mean I have to accept the ends or the means.

Respect and experience have little to do with shitty driving. You could have a Ph.D. and 50 years of driving experience and still drive like a fucktard. If Parnelli Jones rearended me, he'd still be at fault.

They care enough to vote because they have nothing else to do. Seriously sitting around with old people is the saddest thing ever. Unless they are on vacation they just sit around waiting to die and watching day time tv...

Not really a matter of age, its just deterioration of reflexes. It'll happen to all of us. Personally I'm not as quick as I was 6 years ago, its just experience has increased at a faster rate than my reflexes have decreased. Even a professional racer will eventually drive like shit, just because their body is physically losing it's ability to react appropriately in a given situation. I mean there should be more stringent standards placed on people of older age groups, but that would fall under discrimination, which we all know is bad. Hell, if we discriminate against old people, we should also be discriminating against asians, valley girls who talk on their cell phones, and soccer moms who attempt to discipline their children while driving. They're all banes on the road, so we should make it harder for them to keep their licenses too, right? Can't discriminate in this country anymore, and unfortunately, people will always bond together with similar people, unite and call it discrimination. That's just how America works.

I'm not sure that would happen. He's probably up to date but just doesn't have the updated card, and there's really no situation whatsoever in which being rear-ended can be your fault.

I say make them pay just because they were dicks.


NOTE: Didn't read past the 4th post, so if this already happened and I'm an idiot....so be it.

[Anto]

fuck that

when I become old I can do whatever I want and get away with it

YELL AT KIDS? check

GIVE THE FINGER TO ANYONE YOU WANT?
check

[Yuri]

Wow.
There sure are a lot of callous short sighted idiots on here.

Old people should die because they cause accidents once in a while??

I would give up my 240 to be able to hang out with my Grandparents one more time......

I can't believe the attitudes on here!

I met my gparents when i was 3.

They're now dead.

[koukikat180sx]

that sucks that a person like that hit you. you should report it to their insurance company anyway (if they have one.) or either that file a police report. i got hit by an old person. i was in a costco parking lot signaling for a parking spot, and this douche bag backs up into me. i'm like wtf? you didn't see my car sticking out from both sides of yours? then he has the nerve to tell me it's my fault cuz my car is too low. idiots...

[s14owner]

i know how you feel and old black lady hit me in her car and smiled and drove off

[an_orange_s2k]

old people driving fails..

I think there should be a mandatory drivers test every 2 years after you hit 60 years old.
*edit* nevermind, someone already beat me to it hahaha.

That made me LMAO!!!!!

New sig quote!!!!

EDIT FOR OPINION: To be honest, it's not discrimination to make the elderly take tests. That's in the interest of safety. I've gotten into with a few old people for driving like assholes, and I've told them point blank- you're too fucking old to drive. My grandmother understood this when she started getting cataracts. Driving is as much a privilege for a stupid teenager as it is for an old person. That old guy that plowed through that farmer's market should have gotten a much worse punishment than what he got- that's what would have happened to anyone younger.

Also, if old people are gonna bitch and moan about the government limiting their driving privileges and make them take more tests, then they're being selfish and not thinking about the general population and who they put at risk. The fuckers know they're getting old, take responsibility for that shit.
