| What is prohibited driving? My mother called me today, and one of my Grandma's friends hit a guy in a construction zone. She was charged with prohibited driving, and they kept her car. The guy is fine, and she probably shouldn't be driving anyway...she's 93. She had a valid license and insurance, so just wondering what prohibited driving is. |
