Going somewhere? Shoppers stunned as elderly woman drives down footpath

The video circulating on Facebook shows the woman driving a silver Toyota Yaris on Burwood Road near Westfield in the city’s inner-west on Monday.

Those watching were left in shock as she veered on to the footpath and began driving slowly as pedestrians moved to the side.

The man behind the camera could be heard asking what’s going on as those around him were spotted laughing.

“Where she going mate? She’s going to crash into the bin,” he says.

But those who found the situation funny have been criticised by those on social media.

“That’s actually really sad that poor old lady is obviously very confused and no one bothered to actually try and help her,” wrote one person on Facebook.

“Instead of laughing at other people and taking videos for your own personal gain, f***ing help them. Such a f***ink disgrace.”

“She clearly looked confused,” said another. “This could happen to anyone’s grandparent.”

Others saw the funny side.

“Great driver not everybody can drive in small space like that and don’t scratch (the) car,” wrote one person.
