Drabble by Kevin Fagan for January 04, 2022

I guess it’s too much work to draw seat belts?

Ralph isn’t that old but at a certain point i do think people should have to pass a driving test when they renew their license! I’m a bit biased because I was rammed into by an old woman driving a big truck and have never completely recovered (completely totaled my jeep too :-/ )

Today, the “kids” are so busy with their phones & texting, they are worse.

Don’t tell him, Norm. It’s all he’s got left. Right?

You better before some other driver does!

A lot of cars, even older cars from the 90s, had a feature that would warn the driver their signal was left on by dinging loudly enough to make you think something was wrong with the car – and there was: you’re not paying attention! :-P

You better mention the blinker — that could cause an accident.

You can just ask him, “Are we turning?” or “When will we be turning?”

I’m an older driver. I know that my reflexes are not what they used to be, so I drive more carefully. And don’t drive at night. The guy that ran a red light and totaled my car was in his thirties. He was looking at his phone at the time. I seldom see older drivers looking at their phones while driving.

You should though……

Oh, and dad, we’re still in the driveway.

must have one of those cars where teh blinker is on the wiper arm

Ralph got some serious issues if he leaves his blinkers on!

Anymore more?

I thought it was the result of the head on collision

I have a neighbor that will be 99, this month. He lives alone, and still drives, and honestly, he drives better than a lot of people I’ve seen that are 1/3 his age!

Actually the blinker is a much bigger problem.

My bike has turn signals, that turn off after I turn, so they’re never on for long.
