If a person depends on driver aids to the point that they are dangerous without them then they should not be on the road. What if the systems keeping them safe fails?

I ask the family to consider how a family would be affected if the lady causes an accident where a family member dies due to her reckless driving.

Finally I will also ask the family to consider how they would react if the lady causes an accident that causes her to die.

I have some old ass neighbours who still drive. Often i assume drunk, because at least on of them is quite the day drinker. You would think people are on board to not let these people drive anymore. Nope, all i hear is people saying: but how do they get around then?

Idk, so we just let them roam around an potentially kill someone?

And this is not just hyperbolic because they are old, one of them has such bad vision, that he only drives with his wife on his side, because he is pretty much blind and she who is only almost blind tells him where to go.

Why not call the cops on them? I would. Make those worthless bastards earn their pay for once.
