This would be very funny if it wasn't pretty sad - many of those are on the roads stuck at 40mph going through tight bends and school zones

Stupid old fossils shouldn't be driving. Hope they get a section 2 charge

In California? Unlikely.
Be honest, did you even read the whole article?

That actually made a fantastic read...love it, and frankly I wouldn't mind being stuck behind them over some nutter racing around

The hubby asking if she is okay in there, fool you should have tweeted her clearly

The Jazz is a great car....I do find when I drive my wifes, boy racers treat my some old fosil and try and push me along - seems I am the only driver doing less than 30 in a 30 limit and more than 40 in a 60 limit......LOL

Nice to see the glass moon roof intact after a roll / flip

It's a strange spin they decided to put on the story.
They could have commended her calmness and patience waiting to be extricated - letting relatives know she was in an accident but OK.
Or her remarkable ability with modern phone technology at 80 something.

It's not that remarkable that she / they can grasp the technology. I've found wuth many older people, it's not wanting to use it rather than inability.

Let's face it - that would barely get it to a regional newspaper if that. Now a selfie in such bonkers situations seems to be a very hot topic. And how does a modern non-american car with ESP and whatnot just fall over? I suspect it needs a very generous amount of help from the driver, and these silver hair guys are the real pros

Just to clarify - you can legally do the full 30mph in 30 zone and 60 in 60 and your speedo may be over-indicating the real speed by as much as 15-20% in some cars

I've had a couple of Honda Accords in the past, my heart sank if I was given a Jazz as a courtesy car, understeer like crazy, never managed to make one 'fall over' though!
I think the 'moon roof' is actually the windscreen

I do 30 in a 30 and 40 in a 40 - simple as....I have foolish people almost every day when at 30 all over the rear of the car including police way too close I simply ignore, I have better things to think about than how fast other believe they should be legally able to go in built up areas with unpredictable youngsters dogs and OAP's about....leave em to it.

Driving from a 30 into a 40 I have had a fool in a large truck start his overtake in the 30 just because he can see the 40 sign 100 meters away...ONLY to be caught on camera by a traffic police right behind him....I had a laff that day I can tell you.....the truck had a big KNOW HOW sign on it...LOL indeed he knew how to not drive after it I am sure.

I was in my Atom that day too! LOL
