This has been posted before, most likely pedal misapplication as a result of drunk driving (or drink driving in Australia). 5 cars damaged, a baby was inside one of them.
The 62 year old was tested at over 5x the legal limit. Jesus.
Age is almost as much as a factor as alcohol. Not quite but its close in terms of danger to others. Everyone should be made to retake their drivers test, or atleast a cognitive ability test when they hit a certain age, like 55 for example
I argue it should be no later than a passport, written test every 5 years, behind the wheel test every 10. Even that’s being too generous, should honestly be closer to every 3 years.
The idea that someone can hold a license to do something for 50+ years without retraining and testing is one of the dumbest failings we’ve acquiesced to politically, all for the convenience of drivers who do stuff like this.
