remind me not to buy a silver car when I get old.

Happens fairly often, the driver mixes the pedals up and stomps on the throttle by mistake. The driver gets such a shock they can't understand what is happening for 3 or 4 seconds by which time the damage is done.

was an elderly man who crashed & burned in the toyota stuck throttle crash that made headlines a couple of years ago

apparently wasthe first time he drove the car & it had a keyless entry/start button so its assumed that he was confused & couldnt get the car turned off before he got to the T intersection

Guess thats why most new cars are automatic everything ,, auto braking if too close to car in front , auto parkauto gearsauto wipers,heat/cool ,lights .Driver just has to stay awake & steer it .

every new car i drive, i find it impossible to understand how people manage to crash them

they are so good, they virtually drive themselves

And there lies the problem not enough responsibility for the driver no wonder they go to sleep

When you hit 70 you should have to re take your test not just get a GP letter

It`s common, a 20 year old driver drove into a dairy in Drury last week, but he crossed the carpark, first, then mounted the kerb.
Would 20 be elderly !

I'm getting on a bit.
Yesterday the wife backed the cat out of the garage.
Nothing wrong with that!
Yeah! I backed it in the night before!
