Just saw this on the news. I think she should be banned for good too. Seemed like she thought it was fine!

Yes, a mitigating factor was that she was suffering from MS. I'm sorry but unsafe is unsafe. I would hate to have my licence taken away from medical reasons but it's a procedure that's in place for a reason. No retro content though so BRING IT ON!    |

she's obviously not fit to be on the road, and using "i desperately needed an ink cartridge" isnt the best excuse now is it?

just saw it, no idea how this is news worthy really. She was clearly an ill person and if being on the road scares her to the point that she has to drive dangerously then she is no longer fit to be on the road.
Needing an ink cartridge is not a good enough excuse to put peoples lives in danger.

She needed an ink cartridge so that she could print more stupid signs to go in her back window.
The next one she writes should read:-
"I should'nt be driving,
don't hoot,
just call the police."

She shouldn't confuse "fast" with the "speed limit". 10kmh!?  |

Makes my blood boil. I've seen the results of this when my wife was walking across the street and a 80yr parkinson's sufferer hit her when trying to park the car. Major leg injuries and too dumb even to know what was going on. Smashed 4 cars and the front wall of a house and oblivious to the whole thing. No points, fine, nothing "because of her age". Back behind the wheel a week later while my wife takes over a year and an operation to recover. This country.

She lcearly shouldn't be driving. Apparently she can't drive until she re-takes her test, she claims she will pass! I can't imagine she does a lot of driving (we'd have heard of her before) so it would probably be cheaper for her to order a mini-cab when she needs to get out and about. When my Grandad was old and ill he clung on to his car until I pointed out the savings on MOT, Ins, Tax, fuel, maintenance etc versus the small cost of a cab for the one or two trips each week he made. He sold the car and saved a fair amount of money.

Wonder what she`s like on A-roads. To be honest I can see how Motorways are psychologically a completely different kettle of fish to any other road, even though they are statistically probably safer than an A or B-road. She probably thought she would be OK then completely bottled it and panicked, thus slowing to a crawl, not really knowing whether to be on the hard shoulder or lane 1, and was very probably looking for the next exit when she got pulled.

I'm surprised she hasnt already been killed. I bet shes caused lots of accidents behind her through people panic braking and shes simply driven off oblivious. I do feel sorry for her situation, MS is a horrible disease but theres no way she should have been on the road.

While I agree she shouldn't be on the road (for her own safety as much as anything), I can't really see the logic behind coments like 'more dangerous than a speeding driver' and 'panic braking'... why would you panic because someone's driving slowly? Do you 'panic' everytime you see a tractor/hearse/milkfoat...?  |
| |
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault. |

but why is she still driving if she is being treated by a GP for the fear of driving
surely he would advise that she should stop driving until she is better- if she gets better

Do you 'panic' everytime you see a tractor/hearse/milkfoat...? I think by panic braking they mean just braking hard on reflex rather than thinking about it. Think about it in that kind of situation and you have just had an accident. A closing speed of 60mph really doesnt leave much time to think or react. Typical motorway speeder is doing what? 90? Thats only 20mph over the limit, and in generally only 10-15mph faster than everything in lane 2. Whats worse? a 20mph difference in speed? or a 60mph+ one? |

MS is a horrible disease but theres no way she should have been on the road. The MS has stuff all to do with it - it's just something that has been used as a mitigating circumstance. Since I too *have* MS, I do feel a little qualified to comment on it - doesn't make you scared of driving, does mean a different, renewable-with-health-checks/limited licence, and does mean NOT driving while having an attack... |
