This is Why Seniors Should Have to Retake the Driver's License Exam Every 4 Years

TongMan · 11-13-2010, 07:52 AM

It seems like those 40th 370z are bad luck. I've seen quite a few of them invovled in accidents. You should have moved your vehicle to the side of the street becuase you are obstructing traffic.

Really crumby thing to have happen. Probably not an age issue though. Plenty of 16-30yos run red lights, and too many of them are drunk.

Hell, people of all ages run the red just because they're in a hurry and want to "squeak through" rather than sit for another cycle of the light.
FWIW, the longest light around me takes about a minute and a half to complete a cycle. It's not worth it.
It's also not worth it to launch the car the second the light turns green because there's a good chance someone is trying to beat the yellow or squeak through. Guys on motorcycles get killed this way.

Sorry to hear. Yah, definitely get tested every yr one u pass 65. Hell, theyre retired, nothing to do plenty of time to take the buss.

But im more worried about getting hit by a 17yr old.....

Yup, no real recourse if the other driver runs a red light.

But you know, it could have easily been an 18 year old'er in a hurry to meet her boyfriend. Then maybe you could've gotten her phone # first.

Pfft, seniors. We should eat them.

Sorry to hear about that wrong place at the wrong time...
Same thing happened to me except i went into the store came back out
and some little old lady had backed into my car. at the time it had 2500 miles on it!!!! take a couple days cool down and get an estimate. it looks worse than it is.. don't worry about the car fax..most times if the car is repaired right and taken care of it won't matter.....

I dunno man, remember that delicious 50 year old grandmother from the bowflex commercials?

She's probably about 55 now, and I'd run a train on her with 6-strings and the steves.

I'm curious as to what that expression even means. Google reveals nothing. Is it local to you area or just really old fashioned?

Sorry to see that happen! Doesn't look like anything that can't be fixed, though. I'm sure your Z will be back up and running like a champ shortly.

And what's with all the ageism?
