Sickening.
On my way home last night I passed a very old woman with all the coordination of a zombie trying her upmost to get out of her parked sportscar. She could hardly twist her legs out of the car let alone pull her self out. I thought that that was sickening too, just the thought of her at the controls of a death-machine.
Just today, I was waiting for a bus and a man about my age (early 60's) came by "driving" a van and talking on his cell phone. His eyes were down, not on the road, and he appeared to be in a dreamworld. I thought, "He's neither looking where he's going nor paying any attention to driving. And he's steering tons of metal and fuel down a street full of other humans."
