RIP

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Mrs McGowan had suffered some sort of medical emergency that caused her to crash. She was driving alone and no other vehicle involved, 3pm and conditions were fine, presumably she would be a careful driver at her age.....possibly a heart attack or stroke or something.

You would be surprised at the elderly drivers who are manic drivers. My aunt 80+ only recently gave the car away to one of her granddaughters. She took corners at the speed of Lewis Hamilton, it was scary.

I really wouldn't. I live somewhere with loads of oap drivers. Some are too slow (and blind,) and some are too fast. Too dangerous to ride a bike here, London is much safer. As they all have bus passes they should be forced to retake their test at 65.
