"They were apparently stopped twice by Georgia police, but continued heading south anyway."

how dumb can u be? theres no justification for this.

"I just want to thank the Lord above, because without his help, we may never have made it home", noooot, the lord punished u by not giving u a brain..

These stories pop up every now and then. I read one just like this a year ago or so.

Obviously this individual should have his license immediately revoked. He is clearly not fully competent and has no place behind the wheel of a car. One can only wonder as to why he was honked at frequently and pulled over twice, his obvious cluelessness of his immediate surroundings notwithstanding. He has no business driving a car.

i agree with skoorb, i mean, "the three had medical problems"...is this the understatement of the week? if these problems are bad enuff, maybe a non-problematic person should have gone with them. or the son should have drove. something! bah, tech support has made me numb to things like this, haha.

I just dont understand old people, no honey just keep driving cause eventually we will go around the world and get back to where we started. What kind of dumb-azz crap. And then dude falls and hits his head at a gas station. This is just too weird. Oh well at least the were comfortable. I wonder what kind of gas mileage they got? hehehe
