Most of the incidents of people driving into stores/gas stations Ive seen on the news usually involve seniors....those actually terrify me  :o If you cant decipher the pedals and the difference between D and R...then please stop driving.

Funny you say that part....I was out for a bike ride with a buddy and we rode up behind an older person who was backing up so they weren't in the crosswalk while in the left turn lane (they chose not to go through the light). My buddy was on the right side of the lane and and I was in the middle. He looked at me and said, did you check if she put it back in drive again.

Had a cab driver do that to me, backed up to get off crosswalk, forgot it in R, almost rammed me when we got the advance green. I dont think you could have fit a piece of paper between his bumper and mine  >:(
