I love how she tries to blame her husband, who isn't even in the car.

Plus she never even hit the brakes, she just plowed through 5 yards then a house. The only thing that stopped her was a tree.

79 years old.

Woman.

Last name 'Kasuba' (sounds awfully Asian).

Was there ever any doubt?

Bad luck.

I thought the gas pedal was the brake excuse not used... yet

seriousily, why are there no retests once you get past 70 years of age? oh yeah, AARP thinks it's age discrimination. Yet are perfectly happy with increased restrictions on people under 18. way to go folks!

Maybe she was just trying to avoid traffic.... if you'd ever driven on that side of Indianapolis during rush hour you'd understand.
 
2006-05-09 11:28:27 AM
I think maybe Cathryn had just had enough of all the crap. It was time to take out a house.
 
2006-05-09 11:28:46 AM
If you look at the picture, it is quite obvious it was no car that hit the house. It was a missile!

Maybe she wanted some vegetables growing in backyard gardens before they made it to the farmers market.

Damn... I mean, I am a woman, most of us ARE bad drivers ( most men are too) but...seriously... damn, how do you plow through 5 yards and a house and still not know you farked up???

Is her husband George Bush? I'm sure it is his fault, regardless of where he was at the time.....

Wow go ford taurus (that is a taurus wagon right).

Lady probably just passed the fark out on some meds or something and her foot stayed slightly pressed on the gas.

On a side note this happend to a friend of mine (30s), well not the house part, but he was on some cold meds and just blacked out in the middle of the day and drove through a field and ended up in a bunch of shrubs. Had no recollection of the whole thing.

nope, he's a Kennedy

now that's what I call a drive-thru. Maybe she was drunk and thought it was a liquor store. Do they have drive-thru
liquor stores in Indiana?

Agree 100%, even though I was the one who had to take my mother's keys. That kinda sucked. Had some good advice after the fact. Pull the coil wire and leave a note for any mechanic, she might call, NOT to fix it.

Would the two Bush apologists who posted so far please report to the humor department for a mandatory groin smashing.

Wow, that's pretty farked up. But it sure is a good thing we don't discriminate by age and make the elderly get re-tested once they start to lose their vision/motor control/mind.

My 83 year old Grandmother recently lost her vision and she drove every single day until the Province finaly ripped her lisence right out of her hands. The first time they tried to revoke her lisence because she failed a vision test she fought it, and managed to keep driving for a few months after she was declared legally blind.
 
2006-05-09 11:48:41 AM
I have to agree with inthe80s. I've had this idea for a long time. Elderly people are dangerous behind the wheel. I say, after 50, people should be retested every 5 years. If you're 79, drive through 5 yards and a house, AND DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT YOU'RE DRIVING, then maybe you shouldn't be. I mean, that could have been my house. I have 3 kids, one is an infant. I'd fark up that old lady if I was the one trying to sell that house.

Dear old people,

I know it's scary to grow old, I've seen it happen to family members. I know you're scared to give up your keys because, in this country, keys are a rite of passage for the young, and a symbol of freedom and independance for the mature. I know it is, ok? But do you really want to run the very real risk of killing a family in their living room, running down kids on the way home from school, turning beloved family pets into speedbumps, all so you can go to Walgreens and pick up your meds every wednesday?

Please, please let your brother/son/daughter/nephew/grandchild/talented family money do it for you. Take pride in the fact that you've seen more of the world and its changes than the people around you, and shower them with your gathered wisdom. It's not a sign of weakness that your hands shake and your legs don't have the muscular control to keep a stable velocity on the pedals, it's a sign of the growth of your mind; your body, in peak physical condition, is no longer necessary to the continued value of the soul inside you.

Please stop trying to kill us.
Thanks,
People Of The Universe,

This happened right down the road from me. It is pretty hilarious. The cops are now saying that she was the one driving. At first they didn't know who was driving. One of the witnesses said that when they first came upon the car the old lady was buckled in to the passenger seat. I was thinking she got confused and tried to drvie from the passenger seat, which would also explain how she completly lost control of the car. It is pretty farking hilarious though.
 
2006-05-09 12:06:51 PM
shiat EVERYBODY ought to be tested every three years (let's ignore the fact that US driving tests consist of seeing if you can breathe). I mean you can renew your license after 5 years in Florida over the web and that means you go TEN YEARS without a retest.

Not that showing up and getting a new picture and paying $10 equals a retest.
 
2006-05-09 12:07:16 PM
She's driven through a house. Is that one step below or above driving through the farmers' market? I never can remember.
Isn't is this: house, farmers' market, mall?
 
2006-05-09 12:07:58 PM
Old People should have to take a driving test every year from 70 on. If they can pass the eye exam, written test and driving test, they get 1 year more to take the test.

Sure all you crotchy old farts start complaining, but hey, driving is a priviledge not a right. For farks sake, she didn't even have the presence of mind to hit the breaks!!
 
2006-05-09 12:08:49 PM
whoops, they get one year more to drive, before they have to take the test again...

Did anyone check her meds? At 79, she had to be one something pretty powerful not to be able to stop the car after 5 lawns.
 
2006-05-09 12:14:22 PM
I must be tired, I read that story twice trying to figure out why a horse was vacant and had a garage door for her to plow through before hitting the tree.

For the record, the pictures hadn't loaded so I can use oblivious as an excuse there.

unicornrider: Did anyone check her meds? At 79, she had to be one something pretty powerful not to be able to stop the car after 5 lawns.

Once an old person's "Farmer's Market" sensor switches on, there's no stopping it, there's no reasoning with it....

TFA: Monday afternoon 79-year-old Cathryn Kasuba lost control of her car mind and drove all the way through a house.

TFA is too diplomatic. Just tell it like it is.
