This morning while out with my dil we were driving along a main road which was quite busy and in front of us was a car which was clearly being driven by someone who is not in control of the car. We hung back a little but were still right behind with no vehicles between us and we saw the car going right over to the other side of the road and very nearly collided with a bus and a truck and then it did hit a car and did not stop. My dil rang the police while we followed the car , again it almost collided with a couple more vehicles before turning into the driveway of a house. The police asked us to wait outside the house and said a car was on its way. After about half hour the police turned up and asked us what we saw and who was driving ,we gave him the information and said we caught it after the collision on video then he went to the house ,again asking us to wait .We waited and waited for almost an hour and then an ambulance with flashing lights turned up and went into the same house. About 15 minutes later the policeman came out and told us it was a little old lady who is ill and not herself and that she was completely unaware of her bad driving or of the collision.
I'm not sure how this has made me feel ,should we have done exactly what we did or ignored it all, kept out of it and let her keep on driving.
I keep telling myself we did the right thing as she was so tiny she could not see where she was going over the bonnet , it looked as if there was no-one in the car. We can't believe her son who was in the house, let her drive the huge car. We feel sad and bad knowing that she may now have her independence taken away but , at the same time we are happier knowing that we may have removed at least one hazard from the roads.
Have we done the right thing in getting police involved as initially we thought it was a drunk driver.
What would you have done?
for you both for waiting so long and doing the right thing.Petition to stop the EARLY RELEASE for PC Harpers killers
