About a year ago, my Nana was pulled over for going 60 in a 45 m.p.h zone. The deputy asked her when she was last written a speeding ticket. Her response?
"1972."
According to her, the deputy then smiled and told her to slow down and have a nice day.
Uncool, man.
Sure, she was honest when she answered your question, but she has also rear-ended two different vehicles and locked her keys in her TRUNK twice in the last two years...Keep in mind she drives a total of about one mile a day.
We want her to get a ticket. We want the DMV to keep an eye on her. We want her to drive less than 35 mph down our street (Well, our neighbors do anyway)!
Here are a couple of websites related to the last post:
Highlight: "After the age of 75, the risk of driver fatality increases sharply, because older drivers are more vulnerable to both crash-related injury and death. Three behavioral factors in particular may contribute to these statistics: poor judgement in making left-hand turns; drifting within the traffic lane; and decreased ability to change behavior in response to an unexpected or rapidly changing situation."
And
Interesting stuff. Unfortunately, this won't stop our neighbors from knocking on our door to inform us that Nana almost ran over their dog. True story.
lol great stuff you got here.
