No ticket? WTH?
A 92-year-old man in Wisconsin made headlines after a video surfaced of him hitting 9 cars in a supermarket parking lot, but officials said he will not be cited for the incident.
The surprising event was captured on surveillance video and police said that type of behavior is usually seen when drivers are trying “to elude police or in incidents of road rage.” In Russell Kerr’s case, however, his foot reportedly stuck to the accelerator and he panicked.
Wisconsin police said Kerr won’t be cited for losing control of his vehicle last Friday in the Piggly Wiggly store parking lot, reported local ABC Channel 12 TV News. In the surveillance video, Kerr is seen accelerating into one car and reversing into others, ricocheting from right to left and away.

No ticket? WTH?
Saw something similar in Ontario once but lot nearly as bad. Lady in her late 80's hit a pole and a couple of cars. I stopped to help and learned from her that she was driving her husband who could no longer drive. She admitted that he always drove but now she had to and wasn't good at it. I asked a cop there if she was getting a ticket and he said no. He explained that he was going to submit a letter to have her licence revoked as apparently this wasn't a first. He said he didn't have the heart to take her licence and her money too.
Did the same to my grandma too. She went to the Collision reporting centre and the cop behind the counter said "you again miss Simpson. "Her licence was revoked at our request through her doctor. On the other spectrum my uncle Bob showed up in a cab one day and when I asked him where his car was he said he sold it as he didn't feel safe driving anymore. I hope I have the same sense as him.

There was a truck driver a few yrs back at the plant next to where I worked, he pulled the 5 ton flat bed into the parking lot when a bee flew into the cab and proceeded to sting him. He hit the gas and drove into the side of the last car in a row and proceeded to push multiple vehicals into each other causing thousands in damage.

It is coming up on the 1 year anniversary of the deaths of my Aunt and two other women. They were killed when an elderly driver thought her SUV was is drive but was really in reverse and plowed through a crowd of people. It turned out that that wasn't the old girl's first rodeo either. Several years before that she parked her car inside a McDonalds. This guy should be cabbing it from here on.
