101 yr old driver hits 11 people and blames this on the brakes

[Inspector Detector]

About the only good news here is he's decided to quit driving now or so I think.

My brakes failed. The only reason I stopped was by the sheer drag of having 11 children pressing against my bumper. Thank god they were there.

"The brakes failed/didn't work" is old person speak for "I pressed the wrong pedal."

This elicited a laugh from me, followed by remorse for laughing.

They never throw the book at these geriatrics no matter the carnage. It's like they have a free pass.

The stress from this alone will probably be the end of the guy anyway..

It's no CTS-V that's for sure. What if it was a Google Car though, even if I was just reading about the possibility of them getting hacked. http://www.caranddriver.com/columns/...t-can-go-wrong The more I see of this, I still get the feeling sooner or later autonomous driving should become mandatory for some people.

Any person over the age of 70 should have their license taken from them.

If you can't control your bowels you can't control a vehicle!

[Ajackz]

Your a real genius! I suppose you dont mind taking these 70+ year old people to do their errands.
I have, my grandmother is legally blind so she doesn't drive. I can promise you there are other thing you are going to be wanting to do.

its sad, but i agree. how is a man at the age of 101 any more competent then a 12yr old driving.

Yeah, WTF they lead in with 2 sec of here to go into the story. Who edited that YouTube clips

[hipster.]

Any person over the age of 90 should be put down like ole yeller

FTFY

The guy's only 100. He doesn't turn 101 until next week.

In CA, folks over 70 have to renew their license annually and in person.

And may God have mercy on all the innocent souls who perish on their drive over to the DMV.

Exactly

I mean, but hell, the dude is 101 years old, I mean let's say they threw the book at him and gave him life in prison. What's that going to be? A week maybe?

Your grandma was a surrogate for your fetus and birthed you?

You don't know that many "older" people, do ya?
My dad's 66 and he will still be working full-time for a bit, and he probably drives better than you.

My great-uncle stopped driving at 95, and not because he became bad at it, but because he didn't want to be in an accident, even if it wasn't his fault, yet have the blame pointed at him because he was 95.

People age different, and yes, there are many bluehairs that should be taking the bus, but there's a large number who don't suck.

Must I explain this, really?

[Glopaticki]

He doesn't look all together there. Some old people drive fine, some don't but they could simply test their driving ability every 5 years or so.

Yes I want to know how your grandma gave YOU a life.

[Nubbin]

[hipster.]

What? I'm not saying he shouldn't respect his grandma. But I think it's odd to thank your grandma for giving you life.

Do you thank your ancestors from hundreds of years ago for the life try gave you?

In our culture (Chinese)?

Yes, we do.

hipsters love to point out technicalities. This is hardly a technicality unless you are defining it as directly giving him a life, which she still kind of did do...

She didn't kind of give him life, that's not how life is given. I'm sorry.
