Neither of the drivers appeared to be older than mid-30's. Point? The old chestnut about age just isn't so.
The taxi and limo that almost hit you were being stoopid. What I'm referring to in this thread is a growing difficulty functioning as a driver, because of what may be age related issues.
Kudos to the poster who has exercised self-discipline. That is indeed a rare commodity. But, I am a bit curious why the individual posted.
To see if others were experiencing the same thing.
