Wow! I'm with Mama...Praise God that you are okay! Wow! I'm with MamaBird on the age 70 and over being tested. At nearly 48, I can say that I don't need to be tested at this point. ;-)<BR/><BR/>We have weekly close calls due to CELL PHONE USAGE of all age groups! Ugh! Yesterday's close call was a 30-something male in a pickup who nearly turned into the wrong direction after stopping at the 4-way stop sign. It was two-lanes each direction, but clearly marked and not a problem. He was busy talking! He actually swerved left-right twice in an attempt to make up his mind. I should have checked out the business name on the side of the truck! <BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself out there! <BR/><BR/>Gotta love those M's,<BR/>MarilynMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277351.post-1141352614317155222006-03-02T18:23:00.000-08:002006-03-02T18:23:00.000-08:00I hope that driver realizes how close she came to ...I hope that driver realizes how close she came to spending the rest of her life in jail.<BR/><BR/>OCLarryandJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597623263685560860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277351.post-1141303035106227772006-03-02T04:37:00.000-08:002006-03-02T04:37:00.000-08:00Be still, my heart!I've been saying that for years...<B>Be still, my heart!</B><BR/><BR/>I've been saying that for years, though I've said, "retake driver's road test at least every three years starting at age 70" because that's the age at which the accident rate starts to climb above that of 20-somethings (though still not as high as that of those in their teens).<BR/><BR/>Politically, though, we'd be more likely to be able to push through testing at age 80 and up. Those are the ones who do things like drive the wrong way down the freeway...or pull out and around a line of stopped cars and run head-on into a bicycle race (as happened here not too long ago).<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.sfu.ca/mediapr/sfu_news/archives_2003/sfunews11270314.htm<BR/><BR/>https://www.qualityplanning.com/qpc_resources_public/news/030929-Older%20drivers.htm<BR/><BR/>http://www.insurance.com/FAQs/autoFAQDetail.aspx/index/8<BR/><BR/>You didn't happen to get that woman's license plate number did you? I didn't think so. Pity. That woman has no business behind the wheel! Hopefully, she'll have been scared enough herself that she'll now voluntarily stop driving before she does succeed in killing someone...or several someones.Mama Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936614138542902275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277351.post-1141297726732859582006-03-02T03:08:00.000-08:002006-03-02T03:08:00.000-08:00HOLY!
