Pensioners driving ... I really think people over the age of 70 should have to resit their driving test or at least get a small check up on how well they can use car.
Twice today I saw elderly drivers driving awful. I was walking back from getting my lunch and this old women must have her gears mixed up as she was stopped at a junction revving up her engine with a worried & frustrated look on her face whilst there being a huge queue of traffic behind her. After a few minutes of her doing this she eventually got going and did the exact same thing at the traffic lights further up the road ... and the person behind her having to get out and help her get going again.
I travel through the country roads every day to get to work and if you have ever been stuck behind an elderly person going 30mph whilst on the national speed limit you'll know how I feel ... I know if they don't drive on those roads every day they could easily crash when going faster and in the long run it's safer for everyone ... but still, its seriously annoying!
While i'm at it: a group of people stopping and chatting (usually the elderly, lol) in unsuitable & busy locations, for example 5/6 people standing talking in a small corridor or pathway and having no consideration for the masses of people that are continually trying to get passed them.
