I had road rage earlier because these old people were driving very slow...This is not the only time it happend, every slow driver i meet is old. Also when they are at the cashier, they spend like an hour counting their money. They should be retired and rich.

I GUESS THAT THEY LIKE SEEING HOW MUCH ALL OF THE YOUNGER DRIVERS OUT THERE ARE SO IMPATIENT AND DONT ENJOY LIFE.
15 to 20 year-old drivers are the highest risk group for a fatal crash?
Seventy percent of fatalities in this age group involve the use of alcohol. Night driving statistics are even worse:
Young drivers average about 20 percent of their driving at night – yet they account for more than 50% of all nighttime crash fatalities!
Of that 50+ percent, 21% of those involved were intoxicated by alcohol.

Because they have been on the planet long enough to know they aren't immortal. I wish I would have listened to some of these "old" people when I was 16--might not have wrecked two cars and paid hundreds of dollars in fines!!! (16 was a long time ago for me, by the way.)

the reason old people take so long in the check out line, is because when they use cash, the young checkers don't know how to make change,
and if you take tome to look around, when you get where you are going, all of those cars that you passed, are right there with you.
they catch up with you at ever stop signal, and they spend less money at the gas pump, because they aren't blowing it out their exhaust to get to the next Stop light.
we have all gone through what you are going through now, and these are the things that we have learned, by taking the time to notice what I have just stated.

Just to annoy the next generation plus we oldies want to live long enough to annoy our children when they have children.We use cash, at times, instead of plastic and I find most of the time at the checkout is the young whipper snappers trying to make change. Now, that's a hoot when I have to help them figure out how many coins and bills to give me back for a $20.

we got that way from listening to more experienced drivers. the saying is very true: there are old drivers, and bold drivers....but no old and bold drivers. we already had our little fling with speed and what not....but we survived to learn from our mistakes, and had to find out the hard way what happens if u dont show the road some respect.
i highly suggest u grow up and start showing respect. the road will show none, and it will easily get a squid like u killed. usually the title of squid is bestowed on nooby rice rocket 'riders'...but i call anyone who drives recklessly a squid. u fit the definition. road rage is another form of recklessness; u dont bother to fully find out why we are driving slow. u are the type to pass on a double yellow apparently. i dont think u are going to live long enough to even get to our age.

Cuz back in there day they rode the horse "uphill" both ways in the middle of a blizzard. So there only used to riding at about 12 mph on a suburban side street. But hey just chill out because those old people are gonna be replaced by us.

Aw, poor baby is feeling abused. STOP SPEEDING! GET OFF THE CAFFEINE! You may then live to be one of the people you complain about. Otherwise, like far too many younger people, you will be dead or paralyzed from a car accident. Road ragers are very dangerous to everybody, not just themselves, and they tend to kill innocent people, like mothers with children.

They're old. They've earned the right to be as slow as they need to be. How's it gonna feel when you're old and can't move along like you're 20 anymore and some young person gets pissed off at you for it?

How old are you now? You can answer all your questions when you get to the point like them. So try to figure out what will happen to you also when you get old.
