If "mentally unstable" equals poor judgement and being obstinate, I guess she might fit that definition?Quote:

Politicians aren't quick to pass legislation to deter older folks from driving, they'd lose a large block of voters if so.
Repeat, I'm not defending her but I've seen and experienced unreasonable decision-making in older folks like that many times. Whoever you may be, nurse, doctor, cashier, or leo, sometimes a bit of patience will get you a long way with them.
Ditto, here. Though I rarely get pulled over. Particularly during this transitional period (CHL's), everyone's learning the ropes. Just seems like common sense to avoid being seen as doing a great imitation of a felon reaching quickly for a weapon. Keeps things nice, orderly and calm ... as it should be.Quote:

Kinda reminds me of a lady that truly believes she's above the law and, 'how dare he pull me over during the course of my day, I gotta pee!'...
Kinda reminded me of an older loudmouthed female cousin of mine. That fact may of unduly influenced my reaction of full support for the officer. I have wanted to do something like that to her ever since she babysit for me when I was a child.Quote:

Absolutely, and she might not even realise. There's a reasonable chance that she's suffering from age-related dementia, which erodes the ability to self-assess. This means that she might not actually deserve our antipathy; and this might have very little to do with her previous decades of life. Of course, we don't have enough information about her background; but the odds are non-trivial. 13.9 percent of people ageQuote:

I love the gaping mouth she had when she was being pulled from the car. Arrogance turned to disbelief! Priceless!
