I personally can't stand this mentality because its like the elderly can get away with anything, the old man that crashed into a walmart, I haven't heard any charges being filed. He did nearly kill a mother and her baby and almost injured many other people, but no no, its fine because he's old. If that had been me, a student driver, I'd have been arrested and charged on the spot. I know the elderly have slower reaction times, but that's no excuse.
