I havent noticed that, although some places are beter than others. Here, I swear drivers licences come out of a box of crackerjacks. LA I thought had good drivers, Toronto was hit and miss. mostly its highway driving here, which if you cant manage to stay on one bloody road with no stops, well you roll the car in the ditch, die, and hopefully produce no offspring to pass on your sorry skills to.

Although, there are pensioners who do that too. Usualy the ones that drive an ancient Yugo, that hasnt seen the inside of a car mechanics workshop for at least ten years, and probably hasnt been properly registered for twice that long... And they drive maybe once or twice a year anyway...
But add some alcohol (always easy here) and they turn into Mad Max.
IDK, but I heard that North America has a very good driving discipline? Or are the pensioners the only anomaly?

Anyway... I actualy pity the future generations... Demographics, the population is getting older... By the time I retire, young people will have to deal with at least twice as many pensioners as we do today...  Lol... Cant wait...
Oh, and I havent even started on old people driving yet... "Speed limits? Red lights? Stop signs? No, no, no... They are not rules. They are guidelines. Besides, I worked for thirty years, and no youngster will go around telling me that I shouldnt drive 100km/h through a dense urban area... At rush hour... Through red lights... Drunk..."

| | | _strat_ wrote: | | Ok... Pensioners piss me off... On the other hand, I cant wait to be one. Heres what I will do when I retire, based on my observations:
1. Annoy people by pretending I am deaf.
2. Not bathe for a week, then take the bus at rush hours.
3. When I am in a bank or a post office, I will make sure that I have a long talk with the clerk about the weather, but only if there is a very long line behind me.
4. I will go to a supermarket, buy a ton of stuff, go to the 5 products max line, and argue for at least half an hour if they try to turn me down.
5. Cross the street at red, and show obscene gestures at anyone that would dare to say anything to me.
6. Annoy young people by saying how in my days, we respected old people, even tho thats the mother of all lies.
There... Now, its 50 years to go, and counting... |
