Driving Privileges
When one thinks of cars, one generally just imagines a ve­
hicle that goes from A to B. Many times, though, this is not the
case. Other factors involved, such as speeding tickets, car ac­
cidents, and other bizarre incidents can make driving quite an
experience for most seniors. We asked the seniors everything
about cars and driving and found some really interesting re­
sults.
The most popular car? Fords, driven by 46% of seniors, are
driven by the largest percentage of those polled. About half of
the seniors own their own cars, while most others drive their
parents’ cars. A few do not drive at all. The most unpopular
car among seniors is the Yugo, which 52% say they’d rather
walk than drive. And if they were given $50,000 to buy any
car, 55% would want Jeep Wranglers.
Surprisingly, not many seniors, only 28%, have ever had a
speeding ticket. Only one student has admitted having gotten
more than five. Incidentally, the fastest speed over the limit
any senior was ticketed for is 44mph, going 74 in a 30. The
best excuse given to an officer for speeding was “My foot had
lead plates in it”!
Most seniors have had some strange driving experiences.
One actually got hit by a cop who was asleep at the wheel!
Another was tailgating his mother and hit her. A third student’s
car caught on fire, and he threw some leaves on it to put it out.
Spreading her wings for
all to see, Heidi Aumiller
looks ready to fly away.
One really lucky senior put his car into
park while going 45 and did no damage
to the transmission. Things must get
even weirder, though, for many stu­
dents just responded, “You don’t even
want to know . . . ” Maybe they
wouldn’t tell everything, but we learned
a lot about our seniors and their cars.
