Hint: You can't! I've settled upon a sweeping generalization the likes of only which politicians are comfortable making. Generally speaking, if I can't see the driver in front of me (ie, no part of their body is visible from behind), then I realize I'm most likely following a bad driver. I can't explain it, but it just holds true over and over again. That's not to say there aren't plenty of tall drivers that are also bad, but beware of the "driverless" cars. Picture sort of related.

also beat up cars with plastic to cover openings. Duct tape usually says bad driver as well.

If they're old, they suck at driving. I know it's anecdotal, but until I see the senior citizen that's actually using the left lane as a passing lane, my anecdote of "100% of the old people I see on the road suck at driving" will continue to hold true.

"Handicapped" placards. The little wheelchair in the blue box is supposed to just mean that this person has trouble getting around on their feet, but it also seems to be synonymous with driver ability.

Sometimes you can tell. For example, is the car a Lexus? It is? Guess what? You found a bad driver!

I live in Florida, which is pretty much the bad/old driver capitol of the world. A small percentage of old people are really good. These old people usually race as well and seem to hang out with people who aren't quite as old as them.

Well when these mythical old people are on the roads here in WNY, I'll let you know. Because they don't exist up here.

In Florida, it just means that they're old or morbidly obese or just can't park.

I didn't want to be that guy who said it, but YES! Fucking terrible drivers (In general, in my experience).

You usually don't notice them as being old people because they drive things like Miatas and S2000s and don't do anything to otherwise draw attention to themselves. There's an old dude in my class with the same car who stomps me every month at sutocross.

That is surprisingly accurate.

Holds true for my boss, but you didn't hear it from me. Going out on customer calls can be precarious at times.

I have big Recaro fixed-headrest buckets in my car; I can't imagine I'm very visible from the rear. =(

You're probably the exception to the rule.

A Camry with dents. Stay far, far away. Yield to it at all times.
