The driver was 69 years old. Maybe elderly people driving large SUV's in a very urban area is a terrible idea?
I don't like the idea of cracking down on drivers once they reach a certain age. Everyone ages differently. Just require that all drivers re-test every five years. I bet we'd be surprised at how many 40 year olds flunk out.
While that sounds good on paper, I get the impression that would be an administrative nightmare. For one, having enough staff to handle all the extra DMV traffic; two, handling all the court cases of people trying to skirt rules because they feel hassled by the 5 year limit.
I could agree with you if your response to them is “Too bad” but it would still be a mess.
69 is elderly? Typically that starts around 75 I thought
Im not sure being elderly matters here. Cant stop in time if you can't see.
Not much information about the driver. It's likely they could've been taking the subway instead, and avoided this tragedy.
Could you maybe put a trigger warning and put the graphic stuff in the body?
Or just not?
We didn't need that much detail to put two and two together.
