Unbelievable! And really pretty frightening that they're on the road

Thanks for the laugh!

My mom is 89 in June...and she does that accelerator pedal thing off and on off and on...gah!

I drive when we go anywhere. But when I'm at work, she is out terrorizing Charlotte.

I have a close friend who is a cop. And one day she texted me to say she saw a driverless car going down the road...then she realized it was my mom (tiny person who cannot see over the wheel).

When I told my mom that ...she used an obscenity I've never heard her use lol!

This driver is pathetic, should not be on the road. Hope someone got the plate # and showed this video to the police.
My first thought was that the driver hit the black car that was parked next to this driver early on in the video. Maybe not, but this driver hit the red one, no doubt.
"leaving the scene of an accident" should bring the police to investigate.
This individual should have his drivers license revoked.
