its not just driving either mate, the old coots can hold down 2 jobs, can organise a pissup in brewery in a heartbeat, and be on time for work the next day, which they never leave so making room for all the younger ones looking for jobs, they hog the housing - they never move on and let someone else rent the houses they have their coin ready at the checkout and can fill up at the servo in less than 4 phone calls and a twenty minute chat to all their mates driving through then they turn the lights off at 10pm and go to bed - hows the power co's supposed to make money with that sort of geriatric behavior abundant worst part is that most of them can count, and are not often wrong - about anything

I'm an oldie - ex professional driver -and 6 months back I updated my vehicle. First trip to Whangarei, coming home through Tangiteroria, (Pub, Shed, Church, 2 houses, a School and have never seen a pedestrian) the cameraman snapped me. 75 in a 70 zone. Fine of $30, I felt like a criminal, but I think I've got over it.

The olds can also distinguish the front of a cap from the back.And wear it correctly.Unlike the dorks who wear theirs the wrong way and thus signalling that their low IQ makes them a dangerous driver.

Some of those elderly drivers are severely medicated, I have followed a few Willy Weavers over the years who judging by the white hat in the back window ledge are returning home from the bowls.

Forgive me, for I have sinned. First ticket after 51 years driving, $30 for doing 90kph on a space saver. Even the excuse of not wanting to hold up traffic by doing 80kph didn't wash

Been playing bowls for over 35 years and have never put my hat on the back window ledge once. Come to think about it, haven't seen many bowlers hats in that position. I think this could be an urban myth! Have you seen any bowlers on Police 10/7!. I rest my case.

Did it not occur to you that they are just trying to protect the back of there neck from the suns harsh rays!.or not. You don't see many of those older types wearing a hoody (hood up) while driving either. That should be a fine for dangerous driving in itself. Tried it once to see just what ya cant see. dangerous stuff.

Ah. but, you see, we oldies have discovered where to buy caps that have the peak at the front. Took a while though!
