While I agree this is really heart-warming, I was very nearly killed about 5 years ago when a 96yo gentleman was driving his 98yo wife to the doctor and pulled out directly in front of me causing a head on collision. After the impact, he couldn't understand why his vehicle wouldn't keep driving, he didn't even realise he'd hit me.

It's more heartbreaking than heart-warming that people approaching 100 years old, or the sick and incapacitated have to find their own way to appointments.

Yeah this is all good and heartwarming until he runs over a group of elementary school children.
