Between texting drivers and elderly over medicated drivers, pedestrians don't stand a chance.* driving while elderly and pedal confusion is a common cover story for mass murder.

We all get old and lose our abilities and often our judgement. We should accept that gracefully and surrender our licenses or be forced into it if we can no longer safely drive.*I think it's pretty obvious caused the woman to drive into the building. An eye test every ten years (that's what is required of me) to retain your right to drive is not acceptable for the elderly. Pedestrian Killed At Natick Shopping Center
