That's not even close to a good reason. I'm sick of wiping my kids ass but I'm not gonna post a picture of their shitty ass on the internet.

People make mistakes. The person in this picture is living an entire life you know nothing about. Give them some fucking slack instead of trying to shame them.

This world needs more empathy.

I can tell you've become emotionally attached to this, so to give a tidbit of advice, if you know anyone or can think of a single person you might care even a little about that would do this-

They might not be aware of how unsafe it is. Empathy includes hard truths. Hard truths like "grandma, you could hurt yourself or others." Hard truths like "If you can't focus good, grandpa, how can you drive safely?"

Again, I reiterate: IF YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF FOLLOWING ROAD LAWS, DRIVING SAFELY FROM ONE POINT TO ANOTHER, KEEPING TO OR NEAR POSTED SPEED LIMITS, YOU SHOULD NOT BE BEHIND THE WHEEL. KEY EMPHASIS ON INCAPABLE

Edit: empathy also includes mutual awareness of what is lawful and what is not. I cannot empathize with someone who chooses to break the law repeatedly.
