Im with you on this one Phil, at 77 years of age her reactions are a lot slower than of someone 30, 40 etc years younger, what if someone was walking past at the time, they could have been pinned under the car in the water with her, when someone reaches 75 they have to renew their licence with DVLA, it should then be an automatic ban if they have any accidents. Before you all start jumping on the bandwagon I doubt very much there was anything wrong with the car, and are we all forgetting the tragic accident that killed Jackie Bloomer & her 18 month old son, again an elderly driver (89 yrs old) who had a heart attack at the wheel.
