Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / July 2007What's With the Sudden Rash of Doddering Drive-Through Accidents?
Suddenly geezers are driving through storefront windows all over the country! First it happens in Illinois: http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/475888,071907panera.article Then it happens in Arkansas: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289998,00.html Now it's happened again in Arizona: http://www.azstarnet.com/metro/192926 Why the sudden increase in geriatric gate-crashing?

All the geezer drivers now realize that nothing will be done to them even if they kill someone. Old coots that quit driving 5 years are now behind the wheel again.

Not that I'll expect you to draw the obvious conclusion, but other people, who aren't brain damaged, will be able to do so. Bo Raxo .

NEWTON, MA (MIDDLESEX) *CAR VS. HOUSE* OPPOSITE 611 WATERTOWN ST.; COMMAND REPORTS VICTIM IS 58 YEAR-OLD FEMALE - VERY CONFUSED; NO APPARENT PHYSICAL INJURY.
