Of the three recent incidents in which I've almost been T-Boned, every single one of them has been an incident where my light turned green and some gray-haired grandma or grandpa blasted through the intersection as if there wasn't even a light.

Invariably it was the old folks most of the time who hit vehicles next to them in grocery store parking lots and took off. Not all the time, but more often than not.

Probably concerned about losing their license. As I'm sure you're all too aware, most people I meet over 75 have no business driving.
