Around a week ago, my great aunt got killed in our village. A 72 years old man without licence or registration literally crashed her to death while she was sitting outside another woman's house. Just so you get the full picture, the small front yard wall next to her broke completely apart! Basically, my aunt was squashed between the front of the car and the wall and took most of the force, as the car was hardly damaged. Thank God, the other woman wasn't standing near her and didn't get a scratch.

This particular fella has a rich history of hazardous driving, as he managed to hit 4 (you heard right) cars in the past - Fortunately they were all minor incidents and noone got hurt. But what really gets me (and everyone around here for that matter), is the fact that his kids didn't behave like responsible grown ups and make sure to keep him away from the wheel in the first place. Instead, they just let him roam around like that! I cringe at the thought of him hitting someone else, cause there were kids playing around there at the time of the accident.

I've had mixed feelings about the whole thing, especially since it could have been so easily avoided. I mean, it's something you could see coming from a mile away, and that's what enraged me the most. I guess the reason I'm sharing all this with you people, is because I feel only good can come out by pointing something as obvious as the fact that you shouldn't be driving without a licence. - Personally I don't have mine yet, and I would never trust myself behind a wheel before actually getting it. It's also a way of paying my respects to my late great aunt.

Bad driving costs lives, it's as simple as that. On that side note, you should also pay close attention to your elderly people still driving. This way you'll be able to catch the first signs when it's time for them to hang over those keys.
