Wow... I had the longest drive back EVER

10 hours! It's usually a 7-7 1/2 hour drive... 8 hours MAX.

First off, everything was moving a little slow due to the rain, which i figured might bring me a little closer to the 8 hour mark...

Of course I hit traffic in Brooklyn and Statan Island...

Then I sat in Allentown for an hour for a little bit of construction. (no, really, the construction area was less than 3 miles and it took over an hour to get through). Then, of course, there was an accident as soon as I got o VA.

And an old woman tried to kill me. I was in the right lane, and she decided that she wanted to be too, so she tried to merge right where I was - and of course I couldn't see it coming cuz she didn't use her blinker

Seriously, we really need a law that says after the age of 65, every 3 or 5 years you need to take a road test.

Just glad you made it safe!

I agree...unfortunately, my job doesn't!!!

One of my clients was a 92 year old man who hit 4 parked cars...the state was trying to take his license away, but somehow I argued my way into letting him keep it...didn't feel so great that he would be on the road, but happy that I won!!!

glad u are safe deb..did u take bagels with u ???

Glad you made it back safely. 10 hours!!! That's why we always leave in the middle of the night (12 a.m. - 2 a.m.) since not many people are on the roads.

ETA- My grandma is 73 and just got her license in 1995 or 1996 when my grandpa died. She's a great driver.

I'm not saying all seniors are bad drivers, I'm just saying they need to best tested to weed the ones that try to kill me out

My one grandma is 75 and a good driver, the one who's 76 has ALWAYS been a bad driver. Thankfully, she realized that a few years ago and has since stopped.

Oh that stinks...
But at least you are back safe and sound!
