Wow! With all the prescription drugs she was taking, I'm surprised she was allowed to drive at all. She should have got the maximum 6 years. Who goes driving when they're on morphine?

True. However, and the news story just might not mention it, I would imagine that her doctor would tell her to not drive while on morphine. I guess I should've phrased that better.

The child is mostly OK, the grandmother recovering.

Interesting. I would think that not telling a patient that it wouldn't be a good idea to drive while on Medication X would possibly lead to a lawsuit.

Speaking as a health care insider- patients are almost never told not to drive-- the only doctor I can think of who would is a bike commuter.
