Have you ever thought of when would you stop driving? When you reach a certain age or when you lost your judgement on distance? Or when someone tell you that you are no longer fit to drive?
Last Friday, our dear neighbour ( an old lady who is probably in her 60s) drove over our garage and damage the garage auto door. It is beyond repair and we had to replace the entire garage door! Our garage is a double door and the drive way is reasonable big for her to reversed her small car. She didn't even realised that she hit the garage until our landlord rang her and told her about it. We were at home and we actually saw she hit the garage because of the loud 'bang' noise. She hear the noise and got off her car to check her car instead of the surrounding. When she notice that nothing wrong with her car, she just drove off!
Few years ago a friend's cousin was involved in a terrible accident in a hospital car park where she and her friend was hit by a car driven by an old man. I think the accident either cause her to be paralysed or she had to undergo plastic surgery. I notice that many old (some are really old) people here tend to continue driving not realising that they could cause accident due to their poor judgement and slow reflects.
What do you think?

Ouch! Hope she had insurance to cover/pay for that
The agent and the landlord are sorting it out. Tomorrow will be the 3rd Friday after the accident and our garage is still naked! Aarrggg !
My aunt drove to the oncoming lane and scratch a stationery car. Now we stopped her from driving.
