During my lunch break, I usually catch up on my errands at local strip malls around 1:00pm. During this time, kids are in school, other people are at work or taking lunch like me, or the dreaded senior citizens are out reaking havoc on the roads.
On more than one occurrance, I have almost been run over by a senior citizen driver. They either did not see me because they were wearing those huge tinted glasses...you know, the kind that almost cover their entire face...or they just refuse to stop to let a pedestrian pass.
When I'm driving in parking lots especially, I stop for just about everyone no matter what and wave them to walk by feeling assured I won't try to run them down. Here in the parking lots is where I find the most cases of senior citizen almost-hit-and-run accidents. It seems to me, those who do see you do not want to stop for you. They think they have some right as a senior citizen to just keep on driving completely ignoring the fact that you were in the middle of crossing the street.
As a senior citizen, you already get special discounts on shit, why do you have special privelages in driving as well? I'm a pedestrian just like they are. Or is it *stop for senior citizen pedestrians ONLY*??? If i have enough respect to stop my car to allow a woman about 80 years old to take 5 minutes to walk in front of me they can stop their damn car and wait 5 seconds for me to run by them!
They talk about younger generations and how we have no respect for older generations...well, my response is that is certainly the *pot calling the kettle black* (haha, anybody ever heard that expression???)
My overall message here: STOP FOR PEOPLE NO MATTER HOW OLD THEY ARE! and to those senior citizens...you are no more special than i am, so stop acting so superior!

This is why I carry a Glock .45. I figure if someone is going to threaten my life, I'm going to threaten theirs.
Thank you for your Patronage.

Allow me to put a brief 2 cents into this subject. The other day (long story as to WHY I was waiting for a tow truck), I saw a taxi slowly driving behind an old guy who was in the middle of the fucking street on a moped! THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE SIDEWALK, NOT FAST ENOUGH FOR THE ROAD, OLD FRUIT! Anyway, the taxi driver didn't honk or run him over or yell at him because he's old. Who cares? If they were smart enough to thwart the Nazis, they should be smart enough to follow the rules.
My grandpa gave me my first car. My grandpa's the smartest old guy I've ever met. However, him being a senior citizen, he owned 2 Nissans, and only had to pay $65 a month for BOTH! Guess what my starting rate is for ONE of the cars? $555 a month. Young drivers are the best drivers, in my opinion. We go through REALLY HARD training (it's harder in Canada than in America), really expensive as well. I had to take my G2 test twice before I got to drive on my own. Old people are shriveling up in every aspect, and just swimming in money, whereas young people are just scraping by with meager education. Yet...old people, the worst drivers in the world, pay the dirt minimum for car insurance, yet young people, the best drivers in the world, pay MAXIMUM!
Oh, did I mention the unrelated gender discrimination issue? It's more expensive for guys than it is for girls. Which is my my sister's is $140 a month. Lucky bitch.

I hate senior citizen drivers. I think once you turn a certain age you should have your driver's license revoked. It's like that episode of South Park where they parody "Red Dawn." Yeah...

I say let's thin the herd. ROUND UP THE OLD FOLKS!
