We've lived in this house for a full 30 years & have mostly the same neighbors... except for Minnie across the street.
She didn't drive much - just to get gro or get her hair done. But reflexes and vision failed her. She got in a nasty wreck & totaled her nice car.
Whoever investigated the crash notified the state she needed to go in for a vision check and test drive with an examiner. She didn't think she could pass & never went.
But she also had a '79 Chevy sedan she told us they bought new. So once a month, she'd fire it up and down to get her hair done. Which worked out all right.
Then dementia set in and she just couldn't look after herself any more. She's in a Colo rest home now and not coming back.
Her son has been cleaning the place up and just had the old '79 taken away by a local salvage yard guy. Probably got $300 or so for it. He was out taking pics of it being loaded up. When it was down the street, we saw him rubbing his eyes... must have allergies.
But that's the way life works, I guess. SW
