As we head into the holiday weekend, here’s some lighter news from the auto world … lighter if you’re not the grandma in question, who is now banned from driving for the next millennium.
OK, this is Australia, where, as we all know from Road Warrior movies, the streets and highways are high speed killing grounds populated by Mohawk wearing biker gangs, violent thugs, and, according to the Australian government, bad grannies.
To be specific, the granny in question is 84-year-old Luba Relic of Warriewood, New South Wales, Australia. Ms. Relic’s problems (this time around) started last September when she ran into an unsuspecting Honda Civic. Not only did Luba Relic not have a driver’s license, since it had been revoked because of medical reasons, but it turns out this was the Seventy eighth time she’d been in court. Seventy eight. Busy grandma. Seems that Luba has a long history of traffic incidents as well as tangling with neighbors.
I know, she seems so mild-mannered in the shot … but you can’t judge a book by the cover, can you?
Speaking of judges, the courts in New South Wales finally got tired of dealing with granny’s misanthropic behavior and banned her from driving until the year 2999. That didn’t set very well with Ms. Relic and got bitchy with the Magistrate, who added on another year for her back talk, bringing the final date up to the year 3000.
Damn! Anyway, enjoy the holiday, and drive safe … you don’t want to end up like Ms. Relic, now do you?
