An elderly driver apparently lost control while reversing a car and ran over a number of people in Dubbo NSW.
The report in the paper didn't give an age of the driver but a TV item later said she was 85.
I'm not saying she was at fault in this case, but how many times do similar things happen.
Elderly people "Loosing contol" and driving through a parking station wall, to land upside down on the street, or the elderly person who drove down the steps of the Bondi Junction Railway entrance "by mistake", another at St James Station a few years ago.
Young drivers get blame for a a big share of bad driving but older drivers, past their prime, can do as much damage.
One of the reasons for "Flashing lights" at School zones is for older people who have trouble with time, but drivers that aren't competent,(of any age), should not be behind the wheel.
