I dont enjoy being a paseneger when my dad is driving. Does things differently to me. He brakes later (yes he has discs all round but its still late for my liking), and he gets a bit close to the driver in front, plus a few other little things that are cause for concern.

my dads a prick behind the wheel,
already ran someone over (not really his fault) but still he could have avoided it.
He drives quite close to cars,
drives to fast in residential area (narrow roads with parked cars both sides)
he brakes very late, so its not a smooth ride!
very impatient and aggressive!
some guy was in the right lane of a 3lane dual carraigeway with no cars in the other lanes.
Dad undertook him and dangerously cut the car up! causeing him to brake really heavy!
he races alot on the motorways as well..
mom tells him off all the time, but he never listens.

And it's true that as they get older their perception of situations is slower.
OAP's are the worst. My Grandad wouldn't pull out of the way of a police car with his sirens and lights going because he thought the police car was "acting like an idiot driving like that"
Time to revoke his license officer.

my old man is alright, drives fine, speeds abit, the usual, but like sutton said, over the last few years my dad has chilled abit more.
Mum, shes alright, but controlling the clutch is fooked, then again im not too hot anymore  Both of them make a terrible back seat drivers though "your going too fast", "your braking too late", "whats the jolt for?"...
