Why should I care about how old he is when he obviously doens't care enough to properly navigate an intersection. Age should mean nothing in this case. There are plenty of posts about people wanting to smack the **** out of an 18 or 19 year old on a phone. This is no different. Actually it is different elder drivers should be held to a higher standard if they are sooooo special and important to the world. Maybe its just me but what happened to the days when if you ****ed up, someone told you that you ****ed up? Old people are the first ones to try and defend themselves when they run through the front of a ****ing building. Why not start holding them accountable?
EDIT: What the fuuuuck. That case is the exact reason why we should stomp a mudhjole in these ********....

Glad to hear you're OK.
^^^ nope. Last time I checked, someone that causes an accident is held accountable. Every time we get on the bike we're taking a calculated risk. Not everything can be controlled. And guess what happens when you take matters into your own hands? Things usually get worse for you.

Glad your ok , I always have 2 fingers on the brake lever when approaching , lights, intersections , and because of people like that looking the other way , i'm not taking any chances i'm ready for them and yes many of them pulled out , if your speeding that's a different story all together .....

Good for you, you did the right thing. Every time an old person pulls out in front of me or holds me up going down the road, I try to think of my grandparents, I think they deserve some respect and you gave it.. Good job...It probably hurt the old guys feelings so doing anymore is just a dick move.

Thanks guys, yup got lucky, forgot to buy the lotto ticket!
I'll buy one tomorrow, hopefully the luck stays!
If I win Mega Millions, I'm gonna buy everyone on this forum something!
I couldn't get mad at the old man, he looked like he might have been an old war vet,
you never know.
like I said, I was very happy my bike didn't tip over!
And hopefully this uses up my accident for the bike for a good many years!
