Are elderly drivers really that dangerous?
We all worry about our parents driving but senior driving statistics are showing a surprising trend.
Accidents are down in the senior driving age group.

Read Elderly Drivers Causing Accidents?

But I thought this video was fun because it shows younger drivers doing some pretty stupid things.

We don't have these barrier poles in America like they do in Europe, so our American readers may not be as familiar with them.

I first saw them while spending a month in Cambridge a few years ago.
Only authorized cars are allowed in and you can not drive over them if you don't have the permit… but…well, the video speaks for itself.

I 'm amazed at the look of surprise on the face of one of the "young" drivers.
