Amateur. A buddy of mine was being questioned why he was doing time in the joint. My friend leaned over and said, "I hit a cop car." -Pause- "Twice." Older convict slowly smiles and says, "Well, you're all right in my book, then."

Acid test for whatever that group is that is being flogged as the conservative competitor for AARP:
Would they oppose stricter then the current "No tickets, Grandma? Then just pay here and step over there for your picture! Have a nice day!" standards for people over 65 when they renew, or try to renew, their licenses.
65 or younger, pick an age (I'm 56). -

Can't live in 'merica without a license. Cept in NYC. When your turn comes, you will be scratching off your fingernails trying to keep your one last drop of dignity.

Anon 10:22 PM: I take your point, though you're exaggerating somewhat, but someone's claim to what they consider dignity doesn't override everyone else's claim to safety on the street.

Anon: Dignity is no excuse for endangering other folks. Restructure your life, or hire a driver.
If you need assistance, well ... you need assistance. Fair or dignity has nothing to do with it. -

I dunno. I live in an ...interesting neck of the woods, caught between a ginormous "adult" housing development [Ghod's Little Waiting Room] and piles of transient farm workers [illegal 20-something males].
I'll take Grandma or Grandpa -- well, Grandpa's hat is all we see, but we presume he's under there somewhere -- in his/her ginormous Lincoln over Paco and 20 of his pals, late to work and coming from PartyLand plowing his 1990 Accord thru my fence at 5:30 am...
Aside: More dangerous [to me, at least] is the aging hipster, superior nose in the air, cutting me off in his brand-new Pious to show me his oBambi and "Coexist" stickers, and flipping me off cuz I'm driving a ginormous Dodge diesel -- loaded with hay. Didja know you can actually sprain something from overenthusiastic *eyeroll*?
Yep.
