Driver crashes into DMV building injuring 11

AnimeSpirit · 02-16-2007, 03:13 PM

Oh, my mother points out when I'm approaching a stop sign/traffic light. She reminds me to look both ways before turning onto another road. She prompts me to speed up or slow down, depending on my speed. She reminds me to start slowing down when approaching a car that has stopped ahead of me. I have a perfect driving record and have NEVER damaged a car or got a ticket in 8 years of driving. I don't even want to drive with her in the car because it is so annoying.

i didn't read the article but understand most elderly people don't want to have to rely on anyone to bring them anywhere. I agree there comes a time when you can't drive anymore and yes the license/car whatever should be taken away. But until they are really incapable of driving leave them alone because if the younger people have to drive the elderyly around all they do is complain how much of a PITA the elders are.

someone tell me i am incorrect

My mother, sister, and I were discussing that issue in the car one day. My mother asked if how I'd feel when I'm her age and I wouldn't be allowed to drive. My sister laughed when I replied, "By the time I'm your age, I would hope that I'd have my own limo and driver."
