"The driver was a 91 year old woman" yet "The cause is still unknown" Start retesting at 75 and every couple years after that. I've seen so many accidents caused by senior citizens lately that could have been saved by a simple driving test
Tesla drivers are a danger to society
Yes
if we’re gonna revoke licenses based on anything it should start with people who drive high, with headphones in, playing on their phones
There MUST BE AN AGE RE TEST FOR DRIVING!!!! This is a constant and wide spread issue. Read the statistic on how many drivers over 80 are killing people in the last year alone. There should be tests at 70 forward for every decade at minimum! Enough! If I was the family I would sue the state DMV for issuing this license.
