JK> Nah, who couldn't laugh at these :) :)

If they didn't get the laugh, try them on driving:

I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement and new knees.
I've fought prostate cancer and diabetes.
I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40
different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.

I have bouts with dementia.
I have poor circulation, hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
I can't  remember if I'm 85 or 92. I have lost all my friends.
But thank God, I still have my Vancouver, BC driver's license!

and, to further be prepared:

** GREATER VANCOUVER'S DRIVING RULES

1)  Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Vancouver driver 
never uses them. Use of them in Richmond may be illegal.
2)  Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and 
the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else 
putting you in an even more dangerous situation.
3)  Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered "going 
with the flow."
4)  The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have 
of getting hit.
5)  Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork. 
6)  Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your 
ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal 
pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs.
7)  Electronic traffic warning signs are not there to provide useful 
information. They are only there to make Vancouver look high-tech, and to 
distract you from seeing the radar van parked on the median.
8)  Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right.
9)  Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions, and are 
apparently not enforceable during rush hour.
10)  Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident, or even if
someone is just changing a tire.
11)  Throwing litter on the roads adds color to the landscape and gives 
Adopt-a-Highway crews something to clean up.
12)  It is assumed that city police cars passing at high speed may be 
followed in the event you need to make up a few minutes on your way to work, 
or the beach.
13)  Heavy snow, ice, fog, and rain are no reasons to change any of the 
previously listed rules. These weather conditions are God's way of ensuring a 
natural selection process for body shops, junkyards, and new vehicle sales.
