But get her out on a highway, and she is a dangerous person. Her daughter makes certain she NEVER drives on the highway. THe doctor does not have the "heart" to try and take her license away.

Why hasn't anyone with car safety banned these cars ?? Why? Because it is Toyota we are talking about. And, honestly, not all old people are a danger behind the wheel. My grandfather drove his truck until he was diagnosed with cancer at 75. My wifes grandfather drove until he was 76 with no problem. His (my wife's grandfather) girlfriend is in her late 70's and is probably a better driver than me. I live in a smaller rural community with a large over 60 population and I see older drivers all over the place. For instance, the road I live on connects my town with another small town and is used as a shortcut by many people. It is your typical, non divided, no center line country road. The people I see on traveling on this road that are driving in the most unsafe manner are the younger people (apparent ages 17 to mid to late 30's). Since part of the road in front of my house has a down hill grade leading to a semi-blind curve, and is narrow to boot, traveling at a high speed isn't a good idea. Yet I see people my age and younger fly around that corner doing 50+ hitting the apex like a formula one driver. I have yet, in the half a year I have been here, seen an old person driving recklessly on this road. I am not saying that there are not unsafe older drivers. But to paint ALL older drivers as roaming death traps is akin to saying all blacks are thugs or all Asians know kung fu. And before you reply, I am 38, not over 65.

Yeah, for an average person. If the car is operating as it should be, when you let off the gas and apply the brakes, you are not fighting against the motor. If the accelerator is pinned, would an older person, who under normal operations would be able to safely control the car, have the strength to brake against 200+ hp? Maybe yes and maybe no. Depends on the person. Should an equipment malfunction be held against a person? I was involved in an accident in a 2011 Camry (rental) last year. I was traveling on I64 at night at 75mph. A dog somehow got on the interstate and I did not see it in time to avoid it. I hit it doing about 65 mph. For some reason the air bags did not deploy and I was able to drive the car to the next exit. At the bottom of the exit ramp, the accel peddle stuck and I did have to ride the brake. I was able to stop the car, but it was far from easy. I ended up dropping the car into neutral and shutting it off. After that I had no more problems getting it to the gas station. I have no problem what so ever understanding how an older person would have trouble in that situation.
