I did exactly that...I stopped as soon as I saw his reverse lights. He had plenty of room to back out into the street. He just kept backing up and backing up till he hit me. PS. I'm 52 years old, and this is my first accident ever. |

Follow up... I got a call from his Insurance company today. They asked me to provide the details of the accident (even though she said she had a copy of the police report). I gave her my story (same as the police report), she said she was going to contact the insured. She was very nice and provided me with a claim number. So far so good I guess.

LOL! It didn't hit me until I started reading the other posts about old people that 90 YO meant 90 Year Old. This whole time I was thinking it was some kind of racial slur or something. I was like "Yeah man, I freaking hate those YO's. They should go back to their country!"
*checking out urban dictionary for "YO"* Yeah, I've pulled into a parking lot once and while getting in the prime position to backup into a perpendicular parking lot I saw that the car in front of me was backing out of their spot. Car was slowly moving backwards. I tapped the horn a couple times.... Kept coming on back.... Laid on the horn.... Kept on comin'..... *CRACK!!* "Ahhh.... Shit!" I didn't wanna throw myself into my parking spot just to hit another car so I just sat there. I'd rather get hit and it not being my fault rather than to hit someone else and it be my fault. I've had a lot of bad luck with accidents when I was younger and my mother told me, "If someone is going to hit you, just let them hit you if you don't have a choice but to put yourself at risk in another way." Awww, how I miss her. |

Btw - ive noticed a method of driving adopted by many elderly drivers. Especially when backing out, just go slowly. Pause every so often and then continue slowly. People will either drive around or wait and give them space. They don't actually look or listen to where they are backing up to.

There should be a maximum driving age just as there is a minimum.....

Rather than a Maximum driving age how about at a certain age you need to take refresher coarses/drive tests? seems better than taking licenses away from everyone over 80 years old

insurance in the US seems retarded. In Australia, if someone hits me and I go through my insurance company, i dont pay the deductible, THEY do. If its my fault, only then do I have to pay something.
