- Lack of blinker usage
- Leaving the blinker on for miles on end
- Taking up more than 1 lane
- Not being able to see above his/her steering wheel
- Going 5 MPH
Many of us who drive daily probably would agree with all the characteristics that have been mentioned above. Needless to say, I think it's time to do something about the #oldfolk community and driving. I know for myself, when I reach that age, I will be commuting by #public transportation or younger friends and family members to help me run my errands. I also hope that when I am that age, I don't turn into a #hypocrite and take back all that I've written down in this blog post. I think the #DMV of Maryland needs to definitely sit down, get their clipboards out, and figure out a good age to which #elderly folk can easily try to renew their license. A simple driving test is all I would reccomend. Nothing written, as they should know the rules like the back of their hand by now. Just merely to keep all other drivers #safe&sound. The main goal is to keep everybody safe. Although it's always been advised by my parents to go out being a #cautious and #defensive driver, it seems to be becoming a much biggger problem every time I go out.
While I would not consider myself to have #RoadRage, I do get a little testy when I am following an #elderly driver and they suddenly slow down without breaking and take a turn. Literally, the blinker was made for the purpose of letting other drivers know when you're going to turn! It's not that difficult!
Also, on the other hand, those folks who leave their blinkers on without hearing that annoying sound it makes really need to be careful. Driving down I-95 with your blinker on for about 5 miles, is not good for anyone.
Stay saucy & safe out there,
Cara
