    Red face Top Ten Cars to Avoid on the Road

    Here's a helpful roundup of the cars favored by retirees (don't you call them "pensioners" in the U.K.?). If you see one of these cars weaving on the road, doing 45 mph in a 60 mph zone, exercise extreme caution.
    1. Lincoln Town Car
    2. Cadillac DTS
    3. Mercury Grand Marquis
    4. Buick Lucerne
    5. Buick LaCrosse
    6. Mercury Sable
    7. Toyota Avalon
    8. Cadillac STS
    9. Lincoln MKZ
    10. Ford Taurus

    Yeah, no kidding. I have so many complaints about seniors driving on the roads that it really pisses me off. Either they go waaay too fast, or faaar too slow. Moreover, they can't even drive in a straight line!

    This one time I saw some useless old man driving in a bike lane, honking his horn at the bikers to get out of the way! OMG, I WAS SO PISSED!!! Learn the rules of the road, you old piece of rotting flesh!

    PS: Sorry for the rant.

    Don't see many of those cars here, infact out of those I think the only one I've seen is the Toyota Avalon.

    My grandfather is in his 70's. He used to have a 4 wheel drive that i have fond memories of being driven in at nearly 100mph down a dual carriageway.

    Hardly a stereotypical elderly driver.
