A deadly car accident in San Francisco's Chinatown left one person dead and another injured after a car jumped the sidewalk and slammed into a building. The driver, identified only as a 76-year-old man, was attempting to park when the accident occurred and is cooperating with investigators. The incident sparked reactions, with some suggesting better scrutiny of older drivers and testing. The author argues that driving represents independence for older Americans, but it doesn't necessarily eliminate responsibility for driving. He also suggests that penalties should be part of the conversation about drivers failing to maintain control of their vehicles. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie calls for accountability, not just punishment, but also real consequences.
