I was leaving my house today and this guy in a freaking oldsmobile in that oh so famous pee colored grandma gold, changes into my lane for absolutely no reason and then proceeds to drive slow with his turn signal on. I mean there was no one behind him urging him to go faster, its clear I wanted to pass him, but instead I got to drive 35 in a 45 while his turn signal taunted me.
Since I was going so slow I had time to think, are old people this way because they are that far gone? Or perhaps in the 1940s traffic laws were far more lax, in fact did they have turn signals back then? Probably not. Maybe turn signals are so alien to them that no amount of training could install the instinct to turn it off when youre done with it. Are their joints so stiff they cant complete a lane change in under 10 seconds? What keeps them from exercising the very limited amount of effort required to drive a car with power steering and antilock breaks?
