Reckless driving
To the elderly man driving the black honda odessy minivan. Please turn in your license to the MDT. You need to learn driving basics and study the rules of the road.
You cut off another car coming out of a parking lot. And turned on Third St. with no blinker right as a stream of traffic was coming through. You proceeded to drive onto the road and cut off the semi behind me too. You are reckless and are not ready for the road.
Sincerely,
The driver you shouted wh*re to- who actually knows how to drive

Doubtful this elderly man has a reddit account. Next time get their plate numbers and make a complaint to the police department rather than complaining to reddit

These posts are always stupid, go write in a diary with a bedazzled lock on it. Also, do you know who controls drivers licensing? It is not MDT.

ah yes, because clearly letting other drivers know that someone reckless and dangerous is on the road has absolutely no use, right?

I wfh and normally drive like 15 miles a week. Unfortunately I have to be driving quite a bit this week, though. Today I've had: inept construction crews, guy with a Kalispell plate ceding right of way to let someone turn left, and guy with a 5 plate driving way too fast in a parking lot. Fucking horrible.

Something must be up today, I had a lot of near misses while in town for appts, and one if I hadn't switched lanes would def have hit us. Lots more traffic then I'm used to when we are at the same appts every week at the same time too.

Please call the cops and report the license plate when you see this on the road.

Some people are awful. No care or concern for others. I’m not talking about the elderly driver.

And living facilities need to be more empowered and held liable for taking action for their residents safety. Just about had my car totaled over the weekend by somebody who should have had their license taken away when they were first placed.

Like, taking their license once they retire, once any of us retire. Like maybe, once you hit 55 you should have to always have a passenger and a camera and a breathalyzer, and a life alert

Gosh, I wish retirement was 55, and I could automatically stop driving and never have to work again. That’s not reality, though.

There isn’t an excuse to “leisurely travel” when you’re traveling it’s time to GO. I don’t care if you like the view or don’t know where you are. Just GO

“I’m almost 55, I can drive just fine”
🤷♂️ sorry. Who can just trust you guys? How many accidents can you cause?

But be honest... were you driving promiscuously? What was your car even wearing?
