I checked the date on this post because this has happened before in Florida.
Florida is becoming the Padded Cell of the United States. Pinellas County, especially. Nothing a nice Cat 5 wouldn't help fix, however.

He should be charged with vehicular homicide.Age is no excuse for committing any crime.

Well? Did the pedestrian make it, or not? I hate stories that leave out answers to obvious questions. He left a leg behind. It doesn't look like he'd survive, but no mention.

didn't he have to be going pretty fast to hit the person and have the person go through the windshield. And sever a leg at the scene?

I apologize to Seniors, but all ya all need to be tested every year once you hit the age of say 69. No offense, but you are a real hazard on the road some of you. Testing ought to be mandatory a real drivers test in a car. Should go up to freeway speeds. There is nothing worse than an elderly person driving 45 on a 70 MPH freeway.

I would say that twippo posted a similar read on the same story and that it's still one the front page.
But so that people don't say I'm getting a "Power Jolt" I'll just keep reading.

St. Petersburg is God's waiting room. This sounds like a case of unintentional cue-jumping.

Was he driving past Nakatomi Tower?

That's terrible. My mom was found in her car on Pico and Olympic, years ago. I begged the LAPD to yank her license, but she had rights. My worst fear was that she'd run over a crosswalk full of kids. I don't feel that this man should be charged, because the DMV is completely negligent in these types of situations.

More reason for elderly driver re-testing.If you want to harass seniors, that would be a good idea. But if you are serious about lessening traffic fatilities you might want to target those under 24.
