lol I'm not sure how you accidentally end up on a freeway.

7 days isn't the end of the world though.

read this yestarday.

funny tbh, and its not exactly a long ban. Plus, you can fail your driving test by driving too slow, and 10mph is a bit tooo slow

Alternative modes of transportation for old people.

I think we need to incorporate tube technology into our trasportation system. Kinda like what you send your checks and money through when you go to the drive thru teller at the bank.

There are already plenty of services that senior citzens can take advantage of. In my experiences anyway, american elderlies tend to want to drive reguardless of ability out of a sense of pride and independence. Providing an alternative does not mean it would get taken advantage of.

It's easy to find yourself accidentally on a motorway. Almost managed that on my bike once, but found a bridge with a convinient slope next to it so I could get off and navigate another way.

And yes, 10MPH on a motorway is illegal. The minimum limit is around 40, designed to give police the power to arrest fuel fax protestors before the whole anti-terror legislation allowed them to do it without charge.

Even 45 (Learner speed limit, even on motorways) is too slow for motorways. My brother, while on his Rs, was being safer doing 70 instead of 45 and got pulled over for speeding. "Technically" he was speeding but it was a load of nonsense. 10mph is awful though.

They need to give her help....
surely there are groups of people with similar problems.....

I think they got the right punishment.  7 days, surely she can find someone to help her or they can give her options of her to find help.
The test at the end makes sense to re-evaluate her driving skills.  If she passes, she can drive again.  If not, then help her find a support group.

Why would she drive 10mph in first place.  If she wants go 10mph then she needs to get a bike.
