A Senior Citizen Destroys a Barbershop (7 pics)

A lot of older people should not be driving. Their reflexes have slowed down considerably. This lady is using a cane and looks just this side of senile. They refuse to give up their licences, with the end result of causing accidents, often killing someone.

One 83 yr. old woman in Toronto killed a university student who was only 19. Because of her advanced age, she never even got a slap on the wrist. The boy died. She gets to keep on breathing. If it had of been my kid, I would have sued the old bag.

Yeah, I hear ya nuts2u.....once people reach the age of say 70 they should have mandatory testing every couple of years--both driving AND written! My mom's driving scares the shit out of me and she's 72. I know without a doubt she would never be able to pass a driving test anymore.....or the written test.

That must be a popular beauty salon. Look at all the traffic it gets.

it's not that she's old, it's because she's a woman.

i agree with you people

I agree that they need to get tested more frequently!

astroboy3000,
100 internets for u !

Glad no one was hurt.

Not sure where you're from Sped17, but here in the UK you have a basic retest every few years after you turn 70. It's a way of checking on how people are driving as they age.

There's still a few pre-70 that have scared the crap out of me, so it's only the fall-back option really. Possibly in the case mentioned by nuts2u the lady in question would have been stoppped from driving long before the fateful day she killed the student.

i used to work in a variety store, and a lady backed into the front wall, luckily the large window was plexiglass, the older lady laughed it off, later that year, a teenage girl who had just got her license, managed to hit harder and smashed the window.

Damn it
