FHP: Disoriented woman, 75, causes wrong-way crash

And driving the standard-issue senior citizen vehicle as well (Mercury Grand Marquis)...

I'm glad I have a very short commute.

As my late father told me (who had also plowed into an old woman--80--who pulled ain front of him):

"Son, if I can't drive 100 mph safely, take my license and shred it."

Man raced dragster as a teen, former LE, and had a ton of high performance driving training.

I have so many stories of old folks and driving due to me as a truck driver, I should retire on them as a comedian. Had one merge in to my trailer tires in a Mercades. Man was 90 years old. Told me he never saw me, or the tires that were nearly as tall as his car. Thought I was the tow truck driver, twice, while we waited for said tow truck.

If I had to drive in FL I'd want an MRAP just to protect me from the old folks.

I'm not sure that would be enough hoss. I'm thinking more along the lines of a striker gun platform.

The guy isn't impaired, he's FOS. When the airbag deployed he knew what that meant. Visible cracks in the windshield would also let him know what happened. I don't think for a second that he didn't know.

And yeah, he should lose his DL right there and then.

I don't think that is the driver's vehicle, I think that is the one he hit.

Goodness!!

At least it isn't limited to FL. We will never, ever, get legislation about this in our state. Ever.

I'm an auto technician, sometimes it is necessary on intermittent oddball complaints to duplicate a clients concern to ride with them. About 3 or 4 years ago I dreadfully ride with a little old lady to verify her concern. We drove for a few miles and she was like well the darn thing isn't gonna do it. So she puts on her turn signal to pull into a driveway to turn around as I'm thinking oh dear God please no!! Not here!! (blind hill right above this driveway and no way to know if a vehicle is going to pop over it) In reverse we go back out on the road and low and behold a semi pops over the hill chalking up all 18 wheels. I saw my life flash before my eyes and needed an underwear change!! I'm sure I looked like that dog in the above pic. Got back to the shop safely thank God as I recovered from my panic attack and told my service manager NEVER AGAIN!!!! You can fire me if you want! I found the problem though, A LOOSE NUT BEHIND THE WHEEL!
