Yes, people do that. :-) But, I don't think I've heard it called
"driving old", usually "Driving like a granny" or "driving like an old
man" or something to that effect. If people say things like that, I
haven't noticed it. Then again, I suppose I might've heard it and just
automatically figured from context what they meant, and didn't notice
it.
