PASADENA, FL -- An elderly man on his way to visit his wife at a Pinellas County hospital ended up shooting a man in self-defense in the hospital's parking lot, according to the Pinellas Sheriff's Office.

Detectives say 83-year-old Nathan Snyder was driving to Palms of Pasadena Hospital when he reportedly cut off a motorcycle as he was driving along Pasadena Avenue, about 1/2 mile north of the hospital, just before 3pm Friday afternoon.

The motorcycle driver, 64-year-old George Hall, followed Snyder into the hospital's parking lot and confronted him, investigators said.

When Snyder opened his car door, detectives say Hall began punching him in the head as Snyder was sitting in his front seat.

Snyder, who told detectives he feared for his life, pulled out a handgun and shot Hall in self-defense, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Why not start testing in the womb? Surely we have the science by now to know who will be a bad driver in the future.

Well, they've been doing a primitive version of this for years now. It's that X-Y chromosome thingy.

I remember a Seinfeld routine, where he talks about how the elderly drive. Why don’t old drivers check traffic when they back out of a driveway? Their attitude is, hey I lived to be this old, let’s see if you can.

Man! I would have to pull over and collect myself after something like that!

Had a load of logs slide off a logging truck in front of me once and bounce all over the highway like giant pick-up-sticks. Fortunately I had left a big space (a redneck in a logging truck is one of the Four Most Dangerous Moving Objects in the World, the only ones you can still mention are that one and the German with a machine gun). But I had to pull over and just shake quietly for awhile.
