Old people in cars are the worst. Just yesterday I was at a medical center to pick up some medication. An old lady rolls up with an absolute huge Merc SUV, this thing is like a tank and didn't even properly fit in the parking lot. So this lady pulls into a spot, she's about 45 degrees in the spot. So she backs out and tries again, straighter this time, but she doesn't stop and keeps driving. The rows in the parking lot are separated by a little kerb and a hedge row. This lady plows over the hedge, destroying it. Then reverses, pulling the hedge back with a terrible crunching sound. She goes in and out of the parking spot till she gets it sorta right. She had just about enough room to open the door on her side, luckily the spot on that side was empty otherwise she would have probably not been able to open the door. The other side someone was parked, and they had maybe 5cm of clearance en would not be opening their doors while she was there.

The lady probably has such a big car, because it makes her feel safe. Which is true, they are much safer. But only for her, for the rest of the people in the street they are lethal. These huge cars shouldn't be allowed and old people who can't even park shouldn't be as well. But alas both are and it's a danger to everyone.
