Elderly man gets busted at the toll booth in Florida. The dead body in the windshield aroused suspicion.


Original Article

Meet Ralph Parker, the 93-year-old who struck a pedestrian, severing the victim's leg, then proceeded to drive three miles with the guy's body on the windshield before being stopped at a tollbooth.

"Parker told officers he thought a body fell from the sky. Police say he will probably not face criminal charges, because he was unaware he was in an accident."

What the Fuck?

Yet another reason to have mandatory testing every 5 years or so. Make that across the board so you aren't accused of age discrimination. I'd be absolutely furious if the victim was somebody in my family. As is, I'm just pissed that this guy is still on the road.

Note to self: Next time in accident say "I was in an accident?" and not face criminal charges.

Maybe this could work for other problems too!

Honest honey, I don't know where this hooker came from. She just fell out of the sky!

Honest officer, I don't know where this bag of pot came from. It just fell out of the sky!

Just practicing.

Good point with the mandatory testing every 5 years or so.
While we're at it why don't we make driver's tests mean something instead of just being mere formalities.

It's not just older people who can't drive.
