Default Mental Older Drivers ??how about younguns

just read the post" Mental Older Drivers" and agree somewhat but don't lump all of us in there, i also see OFTEN younger drivers passing on hills, passing on the shoulder, not stopping at stop signs, driving way too fast, and not paying attention to driving. and on motorcycles many young riders tend to think that just because they have the right of way they can assume cars will give way to them (even when driven by young drivers) they don't , older drivers tend to be more cautious. by the way , my eye sight is still good, my mental capacity is equal to most young squirts, and my reflexes are good though not what they were, but i go a little slower to adjust.
