I have to say that sadly the elderly seem to be among the worst drivers anywhere... Their reflexes are slower, they cant see as well, they cant hear the sirens as well of the emergency vehicles, and they in a lot of cases cant even see over the steering wheels anymore!!! I hate it when I get caught behind one who cant even see the lane markers and decides that as long as they are on the road thats good enough for them. I cant tell you how many times I have been behind some old wheezer who has taken their share of the road out of the middle of two lanes.... and they wonder why people are giving them dirty looks as they whiz around them when the opportunity presents itself.
Another thing I hate is people driving and talking on a cell phone. They are definetly not paying attention to the road if they are engrossed in a phone call. In Montana if youre not paying attention to the road in the winter, that could cost you your life! It should be a national law that you cant talk and drive at the same time. There is no excuse for it... But dont get me on a soap box about this I could go on for days about bad drivers...
