I drive just like an oldie
I apologise for that
I even drive a 4wd
And wear a funny hat

I may not be too clever
I may not be too smart
I might be old and stupid
But at least I look the part

I stay well back from peoples rears
And very rarely speed
Dont overtake on the left hand side
I just dont see the need

I smile when people let me in
I usually wave
Thank you I say inside my car
That really makes my day

Its always please and thank you
And never shove or push
No manners is a dreadful thing
It makes me want to blush

No you go first I smile and think
I've done my deed today
A pity that they get in then
They turn the other way

No thanks no smile
Get outta here
I'm in a hurry, scram
They press the pedal harder and
Away they go then BAM

Their little car is dented
And maybe they are too
It seems that some are quick to drive
Themselves into the poo

So little time these days
It's hurry push and shove
The bottom line when black you see
Is what the bosses love

The message of this little scribe
Is don't go round the bend
You see, its all the same my friend
We all meet in the end

So take it easy as you live
Some manners wont go wrong
Enjoy and live your life until
They sound the final gong

Its all a matter of your deeds you see
Not what you think or say
Slow down and think of others and
You'll live another day.

Great words. We could all learn something from this at times.
Think positive and look out for the other guy, sometimes he may have just had a bab day.
Thanks Bigbear

Good one Footloose. If even half the drivers on the road took notice it would be a far more enjoyable time.

My 30yo daughter is yet to learn that the speed limit signs tell us how fast we can go, not how fast we have to go :))

Mate,

We all have that problem with our kids LOL. If I'm their passenger (and I make that as rare as possible) I hang on for dear life and try not to put any more access points into their firewalls :)

Great one should be in the NRMA rag.

Can I copy it?
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

Cheers Dodg.

Please feel free to distribute. If it helps one person to drive a bit more carefully then I'm a happy camper.

Good one Footloose

Thats me all over lol

Though I had a person who seemed to be of greater age than me tailgating today, on a country road, all because I had the Cruise Control set on 95. The female drive flattened it when she got the opportunity to pass me. I noticed her leaning over the steering wheel. Good grief.

Cheers

Perhaps she was looking for somewhere to land :)

Strange but I've had 3 female tailgaters in the last week and they've all been female and all ap[peared to be leaning forward. Maybe they like my rear end .........(or wonder what the heck is that aerial on the back :)
