This is taken at my parents Gas Station about 2 weeks ago, I was the guy behind the counter. There are 2 customers, and after seeing the thread below (which is about 10 minutes from our station) i thought i should post it.

The driver was an 82 year old woman, with her 90 year old husband in the car. Everyone was very lucky to be alive. I ended up with glass in my pretty good and a smashed face as it all hit me before i got thrown backwards!

Wow, you were very fortunate! I had a feeling the driver hit the wrong pedal in reverse. I've seen videos before with not-so-old drivers doing the same thing. :-0

I'm not sure I follow...you guys do realize that he's not the person with the man tits, or gross womens' tits, he's the person behind the counter waiting on that person. Maybe I missed the point though.:shrug:

sucks... today a local LEO lost his life due to an elderly driver.. so sad :(

Sad but I can't blame the elderly entirely. Drivers have a hard time seeing bikes, especially if they are speeding. They use the work "overtaking" which basically means he was riding faster than usual to catch a suspect.

McGinness said it appeared Canfield was overtaking a suspected speeding driver when another driver, a 79-year-old man made a left turn in front of him. Both Mills Middle School and Cordova High School were dismissing students at the time.

LOL, typeing.
