I know you won’t read this but anyway … I’m all in favour of seniors continuing to drive as long as they can but not once they become a menace. I and the others waited for the walk signal at the corner of Spring G. and South Park. We then took three steps into the crosswalk when I spotted you tearing into the intersection at a ridiculous speed trying to make a left turn off SP to go down SG. Not only are you a bad driver for driving so wrecklessly fast with so many pedestrians around but you’re also and idiot because when you slammed to a stop just in front of me and the other pedestrians you started waving frantically for us to get out of your way. You left us all shaking our heads. Hang up the keys granny before you kill someone!!!!. —Just trying to walk home safely.

Wow! That’s scary. It’s bad enough when someone does this and than realizes that they were in the wrong and give the “sorry about that” wave. But when someone like this is basically driving around thinking that everyone is in their way and should move no matter what the situation is just scary.
Looking closer at her car it likely revealed, knicks, dents and blood splatters, what a hazard
Yeah… that was me… *insincere sorry about that wave*
But if only you pedestrians would get out of my way! *waving frantically for you to get out of my way*
You see, when I’m driving, I have the right-of-way; when I’m walking, I have the right-of-way; when I’m on my bike, I have the right-of-way.
See? Simple (like ya’ll)! *sincere not sorry about that dig*
I say this is a fake bitch because in all my years driving around SG, I have never seen any pedestrian look up at vehicles while crossing the street. Enough said.
I’d be pretty/very tempted to rip granny out of her car and throw her keys down a storm drain if she caught me on the wrong day.
Anyone who drives like that should be off the road regardless of age.
Perhaps this lady was just a bad driver to begin with.
I agree that there are some older folks who shouldn’t be on the road, but there are just as many folks of all ages who shouldn’t be on the road, either.
