Denny my wife is a nursing home admistrator. Hell they can even drink beer. They can choose what times they want to wake up etc. Instead of being a prison they still get to make their own choices to an extent.

MAYVILLE, Wis. —The driver seen in surveillance video crashing into nine other vehicles in a parking lot won't be cited.

Police said the whole incident is considered an accident, not a medical emergency.

"I can tell you in 23 years of law enforcement, I've never seen anything like this,” Mayville Police Chief Christopher MacNeill said.

MacNeill said it's hard to believe no one was hurt in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly on Friday afternoon.

"My first thought was, ‘You only see these situations when someone is trying to elude police or in incidents of road rage,’” MacNeill said.

It was quite the opposite and all started when Russell Kerr, 92, pulled out of his parking spot.

"His foot got stuck on the accelerator, and from that point, he panicked and lost control of his vehicle,” MacNeill said.

Nine cars were struck, two of which were occupied, and it took less than a minute.

Donald Gourlie's car was one of the cars hit. When he came outside from the grocery store, he found Kerr's vehicle up against his.

“What are you going to do? There isn't much you can say. It just happens. I was just glad no one got hurt,” Gourlie said.

Gourlie doesn't regret being at the grocery store. He said he was buying a Valentine's Day card for his wife of 58 years.

"I wrote, 'I love you' on the bottom. 'P.S. Sorry about your car,'” Gourlie said.

He has a sense of humor as he waits to see if insurance will cover the $2,400 worth of damage.

Police don't have the power to take away Kerr's license, but the report is being sent to the Department of Motor Vehicle, which will determine if Kerr needs to be retested.

According to the Wisconsin DMV, most senior drivers in Wisconsin who renew their license in person will be asked to undergo a basic vision test.

The DMV’s vision standard is 20-100 or better in at least one eye, which means the driver can see at 20 feet what someone with perfect vision can see 100 feet away.

There's also at least a 20-degree horizontal field of vision required.

If found necessary, the DMV may also ask you to submit a medical examination report to determine if you have any medical conditions that might interfere with driving.

Fuck him, he put lives at risk by being out on the road.


Just like the asshole who ran down like 18 people in florida because he got confused.

AARP has such a deathgrip on congress as one of the most powerful lobbyist parties you will never see any changes to elderly driving privledges.

When I had my F-350 I got clipped by a geezer. Was sitting outside of a court house, waiting for it to open, and just felt the ass end of my truck lurch over. Then I see this Corolla hauling ass up the road. I backed out and flew after what I thought was some mexican kid in his barrio'd out shitbox. Call the fuzz and told them what happened. Mean time, this guy is going from 25 to 90 back to 25 and so forth. I was thinking how much delight I'd get from beating his ass when the cops showed up in the chase.

A few miles up the road this car turns into a Urology office. This poor old fuck was getting his prostate removed, had taken pre-op meds before leaving his house and didn't remember hitting me, hell, he didn't remember driving there. Outside of one back up sensor, my truck was fine. His car was fucked. I had a lunet ring on a drop hitch that he hit. It crushed his front light, ripped sheet metal all the way down the side, and popped the taillight off.

Cops asked if I wanted to press charges and I declined. Poor son of a bitch. I just can't imagine losing that freedom or getting to the point that it was taken away from me.

What the fuck does "His foot got stuck on the accelerator" mean?


Can I use this as a defense for speeding?
