TAKE THEM OFF THE ROAD FOR GOOD!!!
why would you say that from this smalll article!!!! you dont know nothing (and the 31 year old was not driving so why take her off nore the children!!!)
I agree. What an insensitive comment to make people could have been seriously hurt and nobody is perfect.
Charles, I agree, that was a very insensitive comment to make when you don’t know the details of the accident. Accidents do happen, unfortunate yes but they happen. And it may have been one person’s fault, not both drivers – in that case the accident may not have been avoidable.
