Angry Too Old To Drive!

Story on the today show about instituing laws about people getting too old to drive. I agree that they should have such laws. Yesterday afternoon I could very easily have driven my truck in the left ear and out the right of an elderly couple who did not take a moment to look left before they turned right onto a main street with a 45 mile an hour speed limit.... I slammed on my brakes and lucky for them I was able to stop....but ya know what????? They never even saw me even after the screeching brakes and missing them by 2 feet.......a split secod further along and those 2 old folks would have been dead....or worse....this 40 year old father of two young sons would be dead.....missing the opportunity to grow as old as the two in the car due to their lethargic driving habits! Take the weapon out of the elderlies hands......test them by law after a certain age every 6 months for cryin' out loud....and if they can't cut the mustard on the road then get them the hell off it!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
