I start screaming at this person your going the wrong way. The best I could tell, it was a older lady in her 80's plus barely able to look over the dash. I pulled over, looked back as she was going the wrong way in to the round about, OMG!!!
Thank God the person in the Blue SUV slammed on his brakes as she turned left into one of the villages. Also a state body utility truck almost broad sided her as well and slammed on the brakes as everyone else coming into the round about did. I think she was oblivious to what was happening.
HMMMMM no one wants there freedom taken away but this lady almost cause injury to 4 vehicle and there passengers UGGHHHHHH
Yesterday you saw an older lady, frequently I see 20-somethings making poor and unsafe decisions (outside TV of course). When is it too old to drive and be retested? 17 seems to be the best answer to capture all the bad drivers.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
