Senior Driving

SENIOR DRIVING 1

As a senior citizen was driving down the motorway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Vernon , I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on the M-1. Please be careful!"

"Hell," said Vernon, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"


SENIOR DRIVING 2

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to a major crossroad. The stop light 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 major junction and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next junction, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!"

Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh! Am I driving?"

Re: Senior Driving

I have actually had a similar experience, but in a Glider.

When I was learning to fly Gliders at Cambridge Airport one of the aircraft we used was a German Ka7 which had tandem seats and a Messerschersmitt 109 type canopy. The student sat in the front seat and the instructor in the rear. The instructor's vision was very restricted as his head was between the wing roots and the student's head in front of him and the wind noise made it very difficult for the two to communicate.

One day when on final approach to land we hit some turbulence from a gravel pit just outside the airfield fence. The aircraft shot up in the air and then came back down equally rapidly berfore resuming its course about 30ft above the landing strip. "What did you do that for!" shouted the instructor. "I didn't do anything, you're flying", I replied. " No I'm not, you are" yelled the instructor.

We had both been sitting with our arms folded.

Here's video in which you can see and hear what it's like in the back seat of a K7.
