here's the scene.... I get dispatched to a vehicle accident with no injuries and arrive to find a woman in her 30's sober and otherwise healthy and walking around outside her vehicle on her cell phone rearended by a 74 yr old 5'1 whitehaired granny driving a older model caprice(boat!!) who is not quite sure what happened and is still in the driver seat in awe of the event that just occurred. Multiple witnesses all saying the same thing, that the woman in her 30's was stopped in the left turn lane yielding to oncoming traffic waiting to make a left turn when the caprice nailed her. No skid marks indicate an effort to stop and the collision occurred at minimal speeds...with minimal damage to the caprice and a bit more to the honda accord driven by the younger woman....its obvious who is at fault here. Would filing the paperwork to pendot to have her driving priveleges recalled be out of line here?.....

"Sooo, real cousin or play cousins ?"

File it.
We had an elderly man 10-7 a man on a motorcycle recently. Motorcyclist was pulling into a shopping center; elderly man in a pickup pulled in going about 30 MPH nailed him; sent him flying.
The elderly man walked away like nothing happened, went inside the store to get groceries, walked back a few minutes later and asked the crowd, "What happened to him?"
Do you want to be the Cop that could of prevented that?Comment

Filing to PennDOT just has them retested. If they pass the retest it is just a hassle to them. If they fail then you did the right thing. No harm no foul.West Chester University B.S. Criminal Justice: May 2009

She has numerous priors as well for "absent minded" traffic infractions and a few incidents at shopping centers where she backed out into cars coming down the lanes, even though she had a clear line of sight with no obstructions blocking here view of the approaching vehicles....so this just goes along with what you all were saying. It comes down to safety.Comment

I don't get it. Why would an old man verify the address of a guy on a motorcycle?Originally posted by irish21 View Post

Just don't reference the at fault driver's age or call her "elderly" and you should be fine.Comment
