What he said.
I lost my mother in law to an elderly driver who came across the centerline. He walked away and paid no penalty because the grand jury no billed the case. It's hard to do but we need to take the keys away from these people. The man took two innocent lives and was celebrated as a local hero when he died of old age this year. His attorneys were very smart. The criminal case took just enough time for them to transfer all of his assets to his children prior to the civil proceedings. Supposedly he was penniless after a lifelong career as the local superintendent of schools. I'm not buying that one. Sorry for venting here but you got lucky. Don't take the easy route and let this lady go before she kills the next guy.
The year after my MIL's fatal accident we had to take the keys away from her mother. I was out riding my bicycle for exercise when she came up behind me at highway speed and did the left lane, right turn maneuver on me. Pretty scary for me to almost get run over by someone I know. She clipped a mailbox in the process so she was clearly out of control. It sucks to do this to our elders but this is a very large proble in certain communities.
