Why are drivers assholes?

[conuly]

Dear Annie: My grandmother and I are very close. She is 83 years old and super independent. She loves to keep busy and is always running around town.

I'm writing to you because I need your advice on how to get through to her. I'm worried about her driving. She has always driven like a "cowboy." She speeds and is very impatient on the road.

If she sees someone jaywalking, she'll speed up to "scare them," as she puts it. It's very dangerous and very scary.

I've told her many times that she is driving dangerously, but her reply is that she's never gotten into an accident, so why would she now. Her agility and reflexes are declining as she's aging, and I am scared she will hurt someone or herself if she keeps on driving so carelessly. How can I get her to take this plea to drive safer seriously?

Please help me, thank you. — A Concerned Granddaughter
