The YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED drivers are by far the MOST LIKELY to be involved in a car crash[citation needed], and this has become an area of focus. Reasons suggested for this include inexperience combined with over-confidence, peer pressure, a desire to show off, and even neurological development arguments. In addition most serious collisions occur at night and when the car has multiple occupants. This has led to the following proposals:
A "curfew" imposed on young drivers to prevent them driving at night.
Requiring an experienced supervisor to chaperone the less experienced driver.
Forbidding the carrying of passengers.
Zero alcohol tolerance.
Compulsory advanced driving courses.
Vehicle restrictions (eg. 'high performance' vehicles)
Vehicle restrictions, not to flat windshield and pillar (car) for the best driver visibility angle.
Requiring a sign placed on the back of the vehicle to notify other drivers of a less-experienced individual in the driver's seat.
Some countries or states have already implemented some of these ideas. This increased risk for the young is known to the insurance companies, and premiums sometimes reflect that; however, very high premiums for young drivers do not seem to have had a significant impact on the crash statistics, suggesting that these drivers simply accept the high premiums as part of the "on road" costs of mobility or that AGE IS NOT A FACTOR in driver recklessness/skill.

and 'most' women are actually SAFER than male drivers..
So I would hazard a guess it was purely an accident and not really anything malicious from the OLD BINT (40 odd yr old lady) ....
