All he needed to do was leave 10 (or whatever) minutes earlier. It was an appointment not an emergency. He knew 2 weeks ago he needed to make the trip again.

He's an adult. He should try planning better.

U really think any 96 yr old man wants to drive. It’s called not having a choice. Man the kids on here are dumb.

Taxis don't exist in America?

When was the last time you actually caught a taxi?

Well I can still drive slowly through a school zone and am not nearing 100 so I haven't the need. This man surely does have a need, and an inability to follow rules in school zones. His failure to plan ahead does not constitute an emergency. Ubers also exist, he has options he just chooses not to use them. And facing zero consequences will encourage him to do it again.

Don't see why you're showing this man so much compassion but the possibility of a child being killed or hurt garners nothing but dismissal.

Yes he was wreckless, but also he’s 96 yrs old so when you’re that age I’m guessing your brain doesnt work like when you are younger. Also what 96 yr old knows about Uber or any technology. Dude was probably driving his 1987 Buick Lesabre. But you’re too young to know about that anyways. Give him a break, (nobody got hurt except only some Reddit kids feelings) maybe one day when you’re 96 and having issues with life maybe u someone mighty pity u and give u a break.

And hopefully it's not your kid I run over when I'm 96.

God has a plan for everyone and everything. If that ever happens to me or to u it’s out of our hands.
