Twenty bucks for taking a Life!

A truly unfortunate accident! You would think that something more than a $20.00, citation is in order. At 92, she probably doesn't need to be driving but if she still has her wits about her and no other means of transport, what's she supposed to do? I deal with elderly drivers all the time who are a hazard to themselves and everyone around them. Hopefuly they will at least access her driving skills and impose some type of driving restrictions. Very sad!

I'll leave you with this list...
Car Accidents by Age in The United States 2006 Age of Driver Number Killed in Car Crashes 2006
Under 5 Years Old___578
....................5- 9___516
.................10- 15___1,079
.................16- 20___5,658
.................21- 24___4,701
.................25- 34___7,169
.................35- 44___6,361
.................45- 54___6,232
.................55- 64___4,178
.................65- 74___2,611
.........Over Age 74___3,406
...........Unknown____153
...........Total Killed___42,642
Most of these types of charts show that people from ages 60 through 74 are less likely to get into an accident than those who range in age 34 to 59... Go figure...

Of course, we don't know the death / driver ratio for these numbers either... and so on.
