Hi,

Need to vent some frustration!

I was waiting at some traffic lights and about to turn left the lights where still red, so I look in the rear view mirror and I could see an Old lady driving a micra and she wasn't even looking at the road (looking to the left at a charity shop to her left) and went straight into the back of the car I was driving.

So I had to go around the corner and park at the side of the road and my instructor said "christ! not again" LOL

So the old women said it was my fault because it was a green light when actually once she droven in the back then it changed to green.Luckly there was loads of people walking about and we got about 3 eye whitnessess that said I was perfectly in the right and she was in the wrong.

anyway don't know what the instructor is going to about the car if its a writeoff etc. but I just had to let some steam of at how arrogant some old people are and have the decency to say it was my fault when she knows it not!

Vent over!

edit:

Got nasty neck and backache now, It was when I was on the way home about 5mins left of my lesson when it happened, glad it was not right at the begining as it would have ruined the day.

good excuse to get drunk!

yeah it getting abit worse atm, taking some pain killers.

They should retake tests when they get to 60, because there awareness skills are not upto scratch and also a lot has changed in driving since when they took there tests 40+ years ago.

Haha, sounds like it's becoming a habbit for him :D.

Yeah about 2-3 weeks ago someone went into the side of him whilst shopping,LOL

Then his focus broke down so Im stuck with a corsa and now thats been hit I dont know what I will be driving :eek:
 
We all should make a partition and take it to 10 drowning street, Re-take tests over 65 or something, or get them off the road altogether! :D
 
they seem to think they are royals when driving and if something goes wrong its never therir own fault!

Its like when I was younger I use to shopping with my mum :o and all the old people just use to ram me with the trollys or those motorised buggie things or as I like to call them (Granny sauce mobiles). Well anyway everytime they did it I just shuved the trolly back there way and walk off!
Hehe menice to society!
 
Yeah prob,

Neck is aching more now gonna see if I can get a lift upto the hospital and get checked out,
 
But they should show other people respect on the road, Im not saying all old people are as bad as each other, no.

But most that ive encountered seem to be all the same, slow reactions etc.

I know I am still learning I am able to speak my opinion.
 
Got checked up last night,

Woken up this morning and it hurts all the from my neck to my back.

Im gonna have a lay down!
