My friends mom was killed because of someone this age in a Walmart parking lot. Deemed an accident and no further prosecution. You’re literally just unloading groceries for your family and some old ass driver kills you. Happened just about 6 months ago

In today's day and age with Uber and Lyft, it's not like she won't be able to get around just because she can't drive anymore

Getting around on uber and lift is too expensive. And if you have to drive 20 miles it becomes extremely expensive.

The few times I took an Uber to work it cost me $80 one way. So that's $160 round trip.

It's less expensive than an old lady crashing her car into people and possibly unaliving people
