I don't understand why people don't think about elderly drivers
correctly.
They think it's funny that old people drive down a 40 mph street doing
11
mph. But, nobody really wants to face reality and think about WHY old
people
are driving that way.

Hell I do that.

You do it consciously, as a hobby. That's different.

ROTFL!!!

You're pretty easy to figure out, Tom. You're like me in some ways,
although
I might be more subtle. I hate it when I'm doing 72 in on a 65 mph
highway,
with plenty of room ahead of me, and some putz starts passing me at 72.38
mph. I just know that he's gonna get two car lengths ahead of me and drop
into my lane & slow down. So, I tweak the cruise control to 74-ish, and
make
him speed up. I'll do this 2-3 times to make sure he's serious. Usually,
he's not.

I don't screw around on the highway - too much at stake.

Bah. I make sure I'm dealing with just one at a time, that I have an "out",
and that nobody else is nearby to be affected by my fun.
