I could see him continuing into the intersection slowly, but until the last moment I thought he would stop. After all, the sun was still out, and I am bright, tall, and have two flashing front lights. He was driving a white boat-like Cadillac, and once I pulled up to him I realized that was close to 150 years old. The dude didn't even see or hear me until I hit hit side view mirror.<br/><br/>I told him that he is too old to drive and that he's a danger to himself and others. I wish the ever vigilant SMPD was around for this one. Oh that's right, they only care about "cyclist safety" every first friday...
