It is so irritating. Most of hte time I try not to let anyone else frazzle me for stupid stuff on the road.

I actually saw a 60 something year old woman the other day driving so much better than many of the people on the road at the time were.
It was Tuesday, last day before holidays for many people. At the time the factories and schools let out. I happened to end up following her almost from my place all the way to the edge of town - about 8 miles or so. She wasn't going slower than traffic or below the speed limit as you find many of the older hunched up older people. She was paying attention to what she was doing. Especially when some guy cut her off after speeding past - I was going a couple more than the speed limit and I was following her. He had to have been going at least 10 more at the rate he was going. We got up to a stop light and she went into the left turn lane that I was headed for too. She signaled when changing lanes, did not leave the light blinking until she were close to turning. We had to wait for the oncoming traffic to slow and she pulled out a tad to be ready when it did. She went right away when there was an opening and was paying attention to the other cars around. When we finally entered the parking lot that we both were headed to she was watching. There was another idiot who came flying out of one of the isles in front of her but she saw him and reacted but not so much that I was going to end up in her rear bumper.

I wish more people, especially older folk would drive like that woman.
