This whole thread is very sad. I am sure that the 85 year old lady was once a twenty year old with excellent driving skills and a fifty year old who was very careful while driving and a sixty year old who could still turn her neck to check behind her.

We all will reach a point when someone takes our keys away if we are unable to see for ourselves that it isn't wise to drive anymore. I see no cause to belabor the obvious point here.

I hope no one was hurt. I hope she did not have a medical episode, such as a surprising new heart symptom. I hope it never happens to anyone reading this thread. Or to me.
