When I was younger, I enjoyed driving immensely and was always the volunteer when a trip was in order. But, now I'm just fed up with traffic and rude, crazy drivers.

Road conditions certainly have changed as more and more drivers are on the road. Most of them should not be.:mad:

Looking at that brought back some memories of my late husband, he was called out to a car driving erratically in a park area, when he got there he was shocked to find a lovely big dog in the drivers seat and no-one else in sight, when the owners turned up they told him they had left him in the back seat just to go to the toilet, obviously he had jumped in the drivers seat and in doing so let the handbrake off.

He probably could drive better then some of the "humans" out there!

I don't want to get way off the topic, but I still wonder how many accidents are caused by people doing "other" things besides paying attention to the road. I still see people talking on cell-phones (no blue tooth which I don't think is good either, not "while" driving) and texting???? Talk about a sandwich shy of a picnic. I just don't get it. Maybe it's because I was taught don't take my eyes off the road, or "the big picture" anyone remember that, kind of like pro-active driving, the big picture. And their picking on folks because they are passed a certain age? Geesh, guess I got a burr under my saddle:( Must be my day for that.

I was nearly killed by an idiot talking on her phone.:mad:

We've driven on many back dirt roads, and delightfully watched and waited as cows or sheep gave us a path to continue. Most intense experience was in Buffalo National Park in Alberta/Northwest Territories, Canada. The feeling of being surrounded by those beautiful massive animals is pretty intense. There were many, and some groups were moving pretty quickly across the road in certain areas. Wish I had some digital pics to share, they were awesome!

You learn to yield real fast!:wink:

My wife thinks I'm a maniac. I'm 66 and technically a good driver but I like to let it hang out now and then. I have a 1999 Panoz AIV roadster and like to push it a bit. What's the point in having one otherwise. Here's a video of someone having fun with one in an empty parking lot.

We have what they call here, "boy racers." They go into the parking lots and do that stuff. But they're in their teens.

Oh, I know! And after my accident it took me some determination to get back in a car but if I didn't I would have been housebound. My husband drives all over Ireland and I don't want to miss out.

But boy are they out there! Add to it the drunks and inexperienced ones behind a wheel and you really want to stay under the bed sometimes!

Stay under the bed, Gael, and the roof will fall in!
 
I think usually, the road-building isn't keeping up with the population, well, I'll say that for our area anyway;)
 
A car passed me today with a child of about three with his head sticking out of the window! In the UK all drivers and passengers have to wear seatbelts, and children have to sit on child seats until they are 135cms in height, or 12 years old. The police would certainly have prosecuted the driver for having the child unrestrained in the car.
 
LOL Gael, the first time I saw that movie it grossed me, I didn't even know how Tom Hanks managed to handle it;) I love dogs, but I couldn't handle that sort of drooling:(
