I know it's a serious issue but really, I could just see it and it was hilarious. Seriously though, I had a little old lady shoot backwards out of a parking slot in the car park of Sainsburys, a large store in England. The sound of the impact was massive and I thought for a brief moment I might die but no, but my car did. Old lady leapt out of her car ran over to me saying she was sorry but she was in a rush and doing last minute chores before leaving the country that very afternoon! She asked me to trust her and that she would be back in London in two weeks. Somehow I trusted her and yes, she contacted me some two weeks later and arranged the considerable repairs to my car. Guess Old School might make up for their havoc in other ways!!!!<br /><br />Great post!Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656576703356658911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30399958.post-80557292185637978902009-10-06T20:17:03.623-05:002009-10-06T20:17:03.623-05:00I remember how mad my grandmother was when we took...I remember how mad my grandmother was when we took away her driving privileges. It was hard on my mom when she lost hers, too. It will be awful to do that to my older sister someday! They'll have to cart me off when they take mine away. Driving is freedom. It's independence. What a terrible thing to lose.Janie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931897043854080377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30399958.post-82692560255486007882009-10-06T16:45:15.214-05:002009-10-06T16:45:15.214-05:00I think losing your liscense must be one of the ha...I think losing your liscense must be one of the hardest things about getting older I know it will be for me. I hope my dad is able to drive till the day he passes I can't imagine him not driving....
