89 years old and still behind a wheel.... SMH
The family of this man should be filed on for negligence in allowing this guy to have access to a vehicle and the innocent victim that was hurt should be able to win a suit and collect anything of value that he had.........

PermalinkAccording to which statics you might read, teenagers are either 3 or 4 times more likely to cause fatal crashes than ANY OTHER AGE group. I don't hear too many complaints about that.
