Does your Grandmother still drive?  | | | | Grandma's letter. She is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car. She writes:Dear Grand-daughter: The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a Honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting. So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. Boy, am I glad I did, what an uplifting experience that followed. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that lots of people love Jesus! While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, For the love of God! Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO! What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love! There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant. He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back. My grandson burst out laughing. Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!! A couple of the people w ere so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved at all my brothers and sisters grinning, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared. So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!

| | This is excellent, it really did make me lol! It strike svery true too though. My grandfather is 84 now and still drives his car a couple of times a week. To be honest, last time I was in with him, I was about 13 and it scared the bejeezus out of me then! (that was almost 15 years ago!) Having said that though, Uk law requires you to re-sit the driving test every few years after 75 or something and he always manages to pass. (I have no idea how!) | | | | | | | Willowlady (8976)

| | The story is funny, but elderly people driving sometimes isn't. My grandfather drove until he went into the hospital just before he died. He was strictly told by his doctor not to, as his heart medication could make him dizzy. But he still drove. He was dangerous to have on the streets. My great grandmother, who had a "perfect" driving record could renew by mail without ever having to take a vision test. She may never had had any speeding tickets, but she was constantly getting her car stuck places where she didn't see an obstacle, and drove over something that her car then got stuck on. There are a lot of elderly folks driving that can claim that "perfect" driving record, but what they don't realize is that sometimes they CAUSE accidents, by people who have to weave, swerve or slam on their brakes to get out of their way. it's a serious issue, and no one is willing to do anything about it. When I get old, and my vision is poor, my reflexes are shot - take my keys away. It's senseless for me to hurt someone else, or hurt myself. This is why I am a big proponent of public transport. | | | | | | | Willowlady (8976)

| | I agree that there are some older drivers that are a hazard. We all need to drive defensive and slamming on breaks just tell me that one is going too fast like we tend to do in the day and age. Following too closely too would cause some swerves. I am preparing my kids, since I live in a real rural area that when I am older they may need to shuttle me or live with me or I live with them. Depending on how things go. Thanks much for responding. | | | | | | | Driver training Let Us Do the Work For You w/ Our DOT Consulting Services!
