in my experience, pensioners consider themselves safe drivers, what they mean by this is that they ‘feel’ safe themselves and do not necessarily take other peoples safety into consideration. for instance, the ’40 mph club’

‘we are safe because we don’t go fast’ but 40mph is not an appropriate speed to do in a 30mph limit, or when entering a motorway, or past schools

pensioners always seem to drive the closest when passing me on my road bike, all be it slowly
