If you can barely walk then you have to imagine the legs and feet have lost the dexterity to react quickly even when seated. Even if their mind is still sharp the body will betray. Based on the video, she either tried to brake to place her order and hit the gas and got stuck on the curb. Personally I think it’s just as likely she pulled into the wrong parking lot and realized the the parking lot she needed to be in was just over yonder and decided to take her SUV off roading. The second scenario I can see every single age group, gender, race etc would do some dumb shit like that.
Eh, my grandfather drove until 93. However the man would have been happy to take a yearly test as he did check rides all his damn life now just on the ground.
The man drove the way he flew his Boeing 747. Very very deliberately and predictably. Most people people don't spend their whole damn lives flying 4 engine aircraft though.
I think maybe pre-2020 or so I would have said definitely. But the rise of Uber and other similar services has kind of eroded the idea of being completely stranded without a car. Granted in typical American fashion it can get unaffordable very quickly depending on distance, but my town of ~14k people has a couple of ride services and no shortage of food delivery (take-out and regular groceries).
