Wow, nice personal anecdote. It must be true, then. Let’s just ignore all medical evidence because you think it’s not true.
People age differently, and many people experience cognitive decline that impairs their decision-making, resulting in overestimation of their current, now-degraded abilities.
Your ability to evaluate yourself often degrades with age. It is the state’s responsibility to independently verify that the drivers they license are capable of driving safely.
If prison is for rehabilitation and not punishment, are you suggesting we rehabilitate this woman for being elderly?
The NY Post is a rag.
The driver is in her eighties, in poor health, previously had a clean record, was not intoxicated or distracted, showed remorse for what happened, and did not contest the charges against her. It is unknown if she suffered a medical incident at the time of the crash.
If prisons are truly for rehabilitation and not punishment, what is she to be rehabilitated for? She already doesn’t have much time left, and being thrown into an overcrowded, run down prison purely out of spite would only serve to further reduce her life expectancy and waste state funds.
If anything, this is a symptom of the state’s over reliance on cars, and insufficient testing and certification of elderly drivers.
Both are important.
Legal cases create precedents which can be used to fight similar cases in the future.

Migrants and refugees are under constant attack throughout the west. The US has secret police racially profiling, beating, killing, illegally kidnapping and disappearing people. Civil rights are rapidly being restricted and rolled back. Israel does a genocide and bombs every county in it’s vicinity while the west offers it’s boots, bombs, and blessings.
The west doesn’t support human rights, and the fascists are already in power.
