Patton Oswalt's bit comes to mind about how every year after 90, one law no longer applies to you. Speeding was one of the earlier ones, I think this guy is able to legally murder so long as he does it with his hands.

We had to ask my grandma to stop driving at 91 because she was pulled over for doing 61 in a 35….on her way to bingo on a Sunday afternoon. She wasn’t late…she was just excited to go to bingo after church.

She would keep her purse hanging from the back of her headrest and apparently struggled with getting her purse brought back around to the front side of the vehicle for a good 15 minutes while the trooper just kinda stood there and tried to not laugh. He let her off with a warning but sent me a message on Facebook later that night (we went to middle and high school together and he was on the cross country/track team with me) asking us to have a talk with her about driving.

My cousins and I then shared the responsibilities of driving her around in her 1991 olds cutlass supreme (our trucks and SUV’s were too tall off of the ground) until she left this world.
