Old People and...driving

So, this has bothered me for quite some time. Atleast since I got on the road behind the wheel (now 2 years). Old people and driving. For the most part, the two do not mix. I repeat, they do not mix. I swear, old people driving is like one of the most frightening things I have ever seen, and something should be done to stop them and their insanely crazy driving.

Now, I know from experience what bad drivers are. I was riding in this car with an old person, and, I swear, he had to be one of the worst drivers on the face of the planet. I would have felt safer driving with somebody who was drunk. He thinks he owns the road. Never puts on signals, can barely hear, probably can barely see, barely pays attention to the road. I was scared for my life. And, repeatedly, he would pull out in front of another car, and just laugh and say, "He's on your side". Crazy.

And, I really truly feel that most old people driving are this way. Their eyesight isn't what it used to be, neither is their hearing, reaction time, and you stick in Alzheimer's along with arthritis, and you've got the recipe for one scary driver. And, they feel like they own the road. Probably because they think, "I've been driving longer than you've been alive, so I make the rules". And then people get hurt. They really truly feel like they own the road. And if they were to get in a wreck, they would totally not take responsibility even if it was bluntly obvious that they were truly the cause of the accident. It'd be like an old person driving off of the road and crashing into a store. That person would get out and blame other things, but will not take responsibility, even if there was not a single car on the road.

So, why are they horrible. Well, health issues, like I have mentioned before. But also, these people started driving like back in the 20s to 40s. Or somewhere around that time. Was there a DMV back then? Probably not. Were there mandatory driver's ed or 5-hours? Nope. So, these people just hopped in a car one day, and started driving. So, now today, they still haven't been to a driving class or taken a test, they just get a license. Yeah, down the road in a few decades, old people drivers will probably be a little better off, seeing as how they were taught how to drive and were officially licensed in driving, along with new advanced technology.

But, now, I feel that they are a threat to the road. And, I think that they are the worst age group of drivers. Well, maybe the stats show that male teenagers are, but that's because they are just showing off, being "manly". If they, or I should say we, wanted to drive well, we'd be some of the best drivers on the road. So, what needs to be done about these dangerous drivers? I think each senior citizen needs to take a test, even if they have a license. And then an eye test, and a reflex test, and such as that. And when all is passed, then they can drive. And like every year or two, they need to go back in and get retested. 'Cause they'll forget, or their eyesight will get worse. Or arthritis will make it almost impossible for them to drive.

And, that's all I have to say about old people and driving. Have a great week, and join me next time for my thoughts on everything.

Viruses

Well, many of you know, and have actually experienced that very evil power of computer viruses. They come in many different flavors, very nasty flavors, in my humble opinion. Like dirt, and dust, and cowpies, and snot. Yeah. They're horrible. Everybody hates them. They don't help anybody out. They are stupid.

So, these stupid, retarded people who have nothing better to do than to come up with these amazingly stupid viruses, are very much wasting their time. Why don't they go out and get a stinkin' job? Do something that's worthwhile. The point of people going around doing harmful things to people and their objects is to see the pain inflicted, the suffering those people go through. But, these people who get viruses on their computers share only their grief with friends and family. Those dumb people who made these viruses never see the faces of their victims. They never see the agonizing pain of these people who's 50-page term paper just got deleted. So, why do they do it? Yeah, it may be for publicity. But what kind is that. They don't want to be caught, or they'll get some severe penalties. I mean, if it were to be on "Good Morning America" or "20/20", these virus programmers will see that their virus is on t.v. for everybody to see, but they can't tell anybody. And if they do, who would stinkin' believe him. Well, those who want to send him to jail may believe him.

Why do they do it? It's one of the stupidest and most pointless things. And what if they send this virus out, and it eventually gets back to them? Do they know how to get rid of the virus? If they do, then they should look for a job with Norton anti-virus. Or, do they feel the pains and afflictions their own virus will bring them?

Or, is this some huge government ploy? To see the power of viruses, maybe testing them on American households to see the power of them, and if they can be stopped. So one day they can use a massive virus on an enemy to totally destroy their computer units and such. Or, are these viruses sent out by computer companies, so that eventually their customers' computers will not work properly, and they will eventually go and buy another computer? If that's true, than those computer companies are evil blood-sucking corporations. Too bad these stinkin' viruses cannot be stopped.

And for the future, are we going to be looking at viruses that do a heck of a lot more damage? One's that can completely destroy a computer's programming by just turning the computer on? When will this madness end, if ever? And who will step up and put an end, or a very very strong fight against these virus-making vampires?

A new Blog

So, I have decided to make another blog. This one, if you cannot read the 1337-speak up on the top says, "Allyn's thoughts on everything". This blog here is about thoughts that I randomly come up with. And it may take me some time to actually get this right. I want to separate what goes on in my life to what I'm thinking about. They may sometimes closely intertwine, but this one I want to just save for thoughts. Like how I think old people shouldn't drive. Or what I think about current news, or such stuff as that.

And, so I hope you all enjoy. I will hopefully enjoy writing here. Read often. Post often. Thank you, and look for the upcoming post. Have a great week.
