Two elderly women were out driving in a large car, both women barely large enough to see over the dashboard. As they cruised along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, I must be losing it, I could have sworn we just went through a red light.
After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection, the light was red, and again they went right through. This time, the passenger was almost sure that the light had been red, but was also concerned that she might be seeing things. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right through it.
She turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred! Did you know we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us!"
Mildred turned to her and cried, "Holy Crap! Am I driving?"
A highway patrol officer pulls over a car with one old lady driving, and two in the back seat. He notices the two in the back seat have a fixed look of terror on their face, and wants to reassure them. He says" sorry to pull you over, girls, but I won't give you a ticket this time. You must drive faster than 5 miles an hour on the freeway, though. The driver shook her head, and crossly said "the sign says 5" The officer patiently explained that it was the freeway number, and that the speed was 55-65 for safety. Seeing that the women in the back seat still appeared terrified, he leaned over and asked the driver, "what's wrong with them, I said I would not give you ladies a ticket?". The driver in a cross voice replied,"Darned if I know, they have looked that way since we left the 605 freeway..."
LOL @ kitty ! thats why i dont go anywhere with my mom as the driver. she is soooo scary behind the wheel. she gets blabbing away and i have to remind her to look at the road and not me when shes driving. and do the dang speed limit. you would think that when the cars behind her are honking away and passing her , she would get a clue that the finger they are sticking up as they pass her are not peace signs !
Oops, that's me blabbing away. My mom, on the other hand, does not see too well, and will pull across the first lane of traffic to see if she can make a turn...
LOL When I went to defensive driving and refered to slow old drivers as sunday drivers he had no idea what I was talking about. Does anyone else call them sunday drivers or have ever heard of it?
i am the opposite. when i get behind the wheel ,its to get where i'm going. my worst pet peeve on drivers , are the ones that you can see up ahead, waiting to pull out. they wait until you get up there, then pull out in front of you and go 5 miles an hour. it is usually on a one lane road and so you cant get around them.ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr , i just want to ram them.lol
we do ! we have a ford 4x4 that i have to climb up into to drive. quinn would have a coronary if i ever ran someone over in the truck though. but when the speed limit is 45 and they are going 25 and holding up traffic, a big ass truck running up on their rear end and blaring the horn , is usually enough to get them to speed up or pull aside and let people pass. lol
i drive slow around schools and hospitals. but when your on a highway that has a 45 mile per hour speed limit, then people should at least keep up or get off the road ! lol
My rule is on the highway go 10 over the speed limit and on normal streets go 5 over. Sometimes I go really fast on normal streets but I'm always in a hurry. LOL My last speeding ticket was for 62 in a 45. LOL

yep thats basically the only exspression we use in the u.k
my mother would definatly be classified as a sunday driver. i,m glad she doesnt do alot of driving. and amazed she hasnt gotten into any accidents. one time , years ago, she was going around the freeway off ramp loop and went off the road and hit a metal sign pole. she put a dent in the car and wanted me to not tell my dad and just let him think my brother did it as he drove the car too. i dont lie and especially not to my dad so i let him know what happened. the next day was sunday and the sermon he gave that sunday was about honesty. she felt guilty and told him after church what she did. she didnt drive for a long time after that and i think my dad was relieved ! lol
thats a great one dusty.
@ kittys joke...
