Justice has finally caught up with the driver of a BMW X5 who thought she could get away with playing Monster Jam in the parking lot of the local gym. You may recall the tale of Tripta Kaushal. Last October, the 62-year old driver was attempting to park her Bavarian SUV at Extreme Fitness. Instead of coming to a controlled stop, Kaushal launched her 'ute onto the row of parked cars across from her, backed off and then drove away. Luckily, the gym had parking lot surveillance, and police eventually nabbed the woman.

On Tuesday, Kaushal pleaded guilty to failing to report a collision, and was issued a $500 fine. Even better, the lady has been banned from driving between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., so you can bet your parking lot will be safe from dusk 'till dawn. The court also ordered her to pay restitution for the cars her X5 mounted last year. Makes us wonder what those poor folks were doing for transportation for the last five months.

wtf...

Wow. They should have suspended her license. I hate the idea of old people driving. Especially when they're doing something stupid or incompetent.

Hyundai Canada actually took the opportunity to, I think, provide a free lease for the man whose car got pwn'd...it was like 3 weeks new.

Wow the bmw didn't appear to have taken much damage. The other cars tho......

That is what happens when you have the height advantage lol.

Damn old lady ran over cars and decided to ditch out of there, I wonder what was going through her head...:shrug:

I'm surprised she didn't try to claim it was unintended acceleration. On that note, this is a great example of what is actually happening with the "runaway" Priuses, etc. The lady thought "brake" and mentally lapsed, forgot to move her foot to the brake pedal. Audi 5000 back then, Toyota Prius (and X5) now.

Yeah right, look up women drivers on youtube for another laugh.
