Hellion Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 :devil Last friday I got a call to that the car was finished; so at around 4pm I left work to go home and get the rental papers so I could return the vehicle. We got to the rental place and waited for 45 minutes because they had no air conditioning and there were alot of people there waiting and sweating to get rentals and returning them. When they got to us we told them we needed a ride to the repair shop to pick up the car. they told us that we will have a ride there in 10 minutes. When the time came they had us a ride there and to my surprise the driver was an elderly dude. He asked me where to be dropped off and I told him where; and he said not a problem; because he knew where the place was. We got in the car to get a ride there and as he was ready to pull out of the parking lot; he pulled out too soon and cut someone off on 18mile rd! I was trying to be calm but Im thinking " am I going to be killed today!"; then when we got to the repair shop on Vandyke rd; he pulled a left turn and cut another person off and I was freaked out. I told my friend when we got the car back on the road that if this ever happens again "Lets walk there we have better chance of surviving!" Let this be a lesson to everyone if your ever in this kind of situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yikes! You should give them a call and complain. This man should not be driving. (and I don't want to be his first victim). Glad you didn't get into an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Starrr Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Ditto what Onyx said! I wish that we had laws about the elderly and their so-called driving abilites. I can tell you that the last 2 trips to the airport were scary. The SAME gold Cadillac with the SAME elderly couple drove 5mph on the Beltway. I think they're out to get me.
