The sad reality is that she can get away with that, but her grandson in a much more capable car will be given the ticket just because it is red and sporty-looking. I don't speed very often. My last ticket was a year ago, the last one before that was in 1996, and I haven't used a radar detector for at least the last 12 years. That is one speeding ticket in roughly 180,000 miles that I have driven since 1996. You can disbelieve that if you like, but I know that it is true. > No doubt.

Yes, she still seems to understand the world around her, better than many people that are half or even one quarter her age. > It would appear that this "sharp old lady" has difficulty distinguishing > what state she is in. No, she can tell if she is happy, angry, sad, etc. That doesn't seem to be a problem for her... ;-) > I wonder how long it takes until we discover that > she also has difficulty distinguishing between the pedals on her car.

I got most of my genes from my gramps, who smoke and drank for most of his life and lived to be 89, never had a weight problem, and was taking literally no medication at the age of 80. That is about the age that he quit driving because of his eyesight going bad, and he never caused any injury accidents. I can only hope that the genes play a role....... :-) Pat |
