ok alot of people would prolly say teens are worst drivers, but i disagree. we are bad if we choose to be, we drive crazy, but see im a sensible idiot when it comes to driving lol. but old people just dont know how to drive period! they turn in the main lane instead of going into the turning lanes, most cant see over the steering wheel, they are always going back and forth. i cant tell you how many of my friends(and myself) have been hit or have had to run off the road because of a senior citizen either hitting them or almost hitting them head on. i have been t-boned by a senior citizen last year with my brothers car. she said the reason for hitting me was because she couldnt see because the sun was in her eyes..well here is an idea! dont pull out if you cant see!!!! she seriously almost killed me, she hit my back bumper spun me outa control into on coming traffic in the middle of winter. i have never been so shaken in my life and so upset....i have never been into an accident(knock on wood) besides this person hitting me! let me know what you guys think thanks

I would have to say it is definitely senior citizens. Some just shouldn't be driving any more. I would have loved to have seen a third option of who drives worse CELLPHONE ADDICTS I believe they are the most serious danger to anyone on the road. So teens may have the lead feet and old people are just driving past their time But cell phone users have absolutely no legitimate reason for being on the phone. Sorry...but I am so over cell phones.There's a time and a place for everything!

teens tend to be "lead-footed" but i have to agree with the seniors being worse. and for some reason they are almost never driving a SMALL car!! why is that?! some states dont help the situation. in Ca. you had to take the test every 4 yrs. when i moved to Az. i took the test..and the expiration date is 2035!!! thats insane! my grandmother gave up her license when she was 75, the DMV couldnt understand why she wanted to do that..they told her "well you dont have to worry about taking the test, we just re-issue a new card for the picture" WHAT?! lol
