A 96 year old man should not have to drive his disabled son to his appointments, and there are no circumstances in which it is ok to speed through a school zone.

I completely get not fining him, but the case should not have been dismissed and the judge should have recommended some kind of service or help that could take his son to his appointments so this very elderly man is not at risk of killing children with his car.

Children deserve the same opportunity to live to 96 that this guy had.

Nothing about this is amazing, it’s sad.

Why did I have to scroll so far to see this comment? I want to know how fast he was going. He claims it "wasn't that fast," but are we just going to believe him? What did the cop clock his speed at? That's pertinent information the judge seems to ignore here
