What more evidence is need that he/she shouldn't have been on the road?
Maybe it's a medication or medical issue that can be resolved, maybe additional drivers education is needed, maybe a new eyeglasses prescription. Or, maybe the individual has simply reached a point where they can no longer drive safely and should be removed from the road.

I agree 100%! This driver made a huge mistake and it cannot be overlooked.
There was just an article in the Sarasota Newspaper a couple of days ago about the oldest driver in the United States. He’s right here in Sarasota and he’s 107 years old! I loved looking at his picture as he was driving in his convertible with the top down waving to everybody as he drove by.
There is no special age where someone has to automatically stop driving. But when it’s obvious to those around you, they should not get a break.
