Yikes. About 20 years back I was in an Orchard Supply Hardware outlet (before they went under) when one of my coworrkers walked in and said 'cmac, someone just hit your van in the parking lot.' He had driven up just as it happened and recognized my van.
The culprit was a gentlemanly looking chap who I found out was 94. For some reason, as he was backing out, he hit the gas hard and did an arc backwards that took him into two of the cars in the same row he had been in. Then he put it in drive and did it again, banged two vehicles at the other end of the arc. Mine was on of the four. I got $500 out of it and a nice new scar to wear around town.
I'm guessing he might have lost his license. Will come to all of us someday I guess.
