I bet she flunks the test.

[G-Man]

Neither article mentioned if she passed her test.

Well, Jim didn't make his Lent goal ;-)

Don't you dare touch my medicare or driving rights! We'll vote you right out of office!

Bleh. Grey dawn indeed.

They ought to have a web site that lists these folks car make/model and license plate along with their city of residence so we can look out for them. I've discussed my thoughts on elderly drivers testing before.

I love the irony of this story.

She could have still passed if parking is not part of this test.

Give the old bird a break--there have been many times when I was tempted to ram my car into a BMV branch--the article didn't say what they did to provoke her! I do have to say that the Indiana BMV has improved 100% in the past four years, though, so I'm not as inclined to inflict damage/harm as I once was.

DEFINITELY NO LICENSE THERE

Lent give-ups are meant to be broken, of course.

"The car plowed through the wall and into the counter of the driver's license building."

to continue the story, if it took place here in NY....."the old gal read the third line on the eye chart from the seat of her car and was handed a renewed license then backed out to go to the mall".

She wanted to show them her best,
And probably got nicely dressed,
But -- shame of it all!
She plowed through the wall,
And missed out on that driver's test.

seeing those DMVers running would have made my day

*removing my tongue from my cheek*

At least she made it all the way there from Fla.
