Your post isn't quite a repost because it's a different article and so I won't be removing it under Rule 5, but FYI we've already had a large thread on this topic.

The Saline County Sheriff’s Office said that Lanham was skating west on East Country Club Road when an 82-year-old woman driving westbound struck him with her car.
“She knew she struck something. She just wasn’t sure what,” Lieutenant Scott Trembley said.
Get these dangerous geriatric fucks off the road
Yeah they should stick to politics where they belong.
No argument here, there needs to be standardized age-based testing for drivers licenses, as well as freely accessible and highly available transport for senior citizens who have had their drivers licenses revoked.
However, this was also a really bad idea from the start. Rollerblading across America, on its roads?!?!
What are the the odds anyone could complete that task without being hit by a motor vehicle, especially a European not used to the car-centric nature of American roadways and traffic?
I'm born and raised, and I am positive that I would at least be clipped by cars multiple times, but more than likely I'd eventually get pasted into a red smear.
That shit sounds terrifying.
Sad, This is why you never ride on the right side of the road if you aren't in the road at speed.
Fuck anyone that tells you otherwise. Don't trust the driver to not kill you, watch them and be prepared to move if they swerve to you.
