Someone drove through the building next to Kroger

I mentioned it in that post about the multi car crash but didn't give a link. I'll never understand how this happens so often. I know a lot of times it's break/gas confusion but who floors it in reverse? West-Tex :

. Hi,I'm here for my follow up exam! Kroger Atascocita

Prolly on their way to TSO to pick up some new glasses....

MrsT : well, MrsT, you are hearing from a driver (me) who put her car into reverse mistakenly ….. while I was at / in Tommy's car wash.
It had been a comedy of errors the entire morning. I was an appointment for bloodwork in Humble. The traffic was insane with the 1960 construction to blame. I had attempted to turn around at Woodland Hills and 1960 and got stuck in the mud. A nice couple with a big truck and a tow belt rescued me and the lady suggested I get my car washed because the excessive mud might cause an accident. So, I did. For some insane reason I hit reverse instead of forward when exiting and hit a piece of equipment.The back window of my Santa Fe was shattered and I had quite the story when I got home. My husband was understandably upset but I wasn't having any of that. I had been complaining of all the craziness on 1960 and this validated my feelings.A few months later I had a small stroke and hung up my keys for good and don't regret it a bit. That's my story and I'm sticking to it lol.

MrsT : And as soon as that happens , license should go bye bye

ParksideRes :
Yes. I once had a guy plow into the front of my car because he was wearing a boot cast and couldn't tell the difference between his break and gas, allegedly. He didn't even get a ticket, in fact he got to drive away while I had to have my car towed and worked on for three weeks.

MrsT : lemme guess: his insurance disputed it, too?

This kind of stuff is terrifying. I remember reading about an elderly lady in Houston who ran into the post office and killed a woman. I hope that I have the courage to hang up the keys when it is time.

ParksideRes :
Thankfully the insurance was actually great, even gave me a rental. The cops were his buddies.

TootsieRoll :
That had to take a lot of courage to quit driving. Just wondering how you manage to get to appointments and even recreational activities? Do u uber? Have a friend or your dh drive you?

RajunCajun : my sweet husband!

TootsieRoll : Glad that you have a personal chauffeur. One thing that I like a about where I live is that our parish council on aging will provide transportation to any medical appointment within the parish free of charge to anyone 60 and over. It is a comfort to know that we have transportation if we can't drive anymore. They also provide transportation to the center. The center has activities, exercise classes, and lunch. I've heard the lunch isn't great. But the other stuff is excellent.
