Maybe that's just it--older people dawdle, which could be translated into being more cautious and less confident about their own abilities (appropriately). Isn't it funny though, how we consider the speed limit to be the lower limit rather than the upper limit that it is. I do this too, and I often get ticked at people driving under the speed limit. However, I live in the Midwest where there's nothing more aggravating than getting stuck behind a combine in a no-passing zone on a 2-lane highway. Carol Carol L.

I am having a very hard time giving up a belief that is near and dear to my heart--OLD PEOPLE ARE HORRIBLE DRIVERS! They should be banned off the roads, especially at peak tgraffice times when they DAWDLE down main thoroughfares at the speed limit! Imagine that! Slowing down the rest of us hard working souls. There, I've said it! Yes, it's going to take extraordinarily copious quantities of evidence to convince me! ;-} Annette
