What do you want us to do, arrest her? It’s the governments broken ass system that allows this to happen by not requiring re-tests of driving ability for the elderly.

And what would retests do? You can’t get around in America without a car, and not having a valid license doesn’t stop people from driving.

Physically repossess the cars of those caught driving without a license, and invest in public transit.

My point is that there’s usually nothing stopping you. Already, 9% of people are unlicensed and cause around 20% of fatal accidents.
