- Hey my lovelies
We hear of these things happen and think “how is that even possible?”
Well I experienced one of those weird moments in life today.
I’m not the tire of person to over think or dwell on things that happen……. I’ve had many moments in the past that have been devastating but I choose to think forward and live life and not let past moments/experiences impact my life now, in the future or change who I am as a person.
On the brighter side, we did get two new awesome additions to the shop which will be a massive help when working.
Thank you so much for watching
- Holls
So glad you didn't get hurt. I hope you did the right thing and called the authorities to get the women the help she needs, not to get her in trouble, but the help before she really hurts someone. She should not be driving if she did not see you.
Ditto
Omg what the crap is wrong with people. I’m so sorry,I hope your day is going better now. You guys be safe.
Good morning Hollie and Walter!
You should report this to the police anyway, she is a danger to people! Glad you are ok, but wow, that is so scary.
Gray just said “where is Walter, Hollie needs a hug right now”. Glad you are okay, just pretty rattled.
She just got more VIEWS THAN SUBS. HER PLAN WORKED. 84K HUGS!

I'm glad you're okay Hollie. Families definitely need to pay attention to their older family members, and accept that at some point, they'll probably need to take away their license.
We had to stop my dad driving as cancer got the better of him. Luckily he had the family to take him anywhere.
So glad you are ok. I hope you feel ok tomorrow after the adrenaline rush wears off. Be safe.
I also think older family members need to watch the younger ones. Seems all age groups are distracted drivers and at unsafe speeds. I live on the East coast and a very affluent town has had about 4 deadly pedestrian and car accidents and many serious others in the last two weeks, 2 of the deadly were young drivers.
Independence is crucial to elderly folks still finding meaning for existence. Be very mindful of many things you can do BEFORE taking their keys away. Just getting a newer car with things like parking assist and lane change/drift warning can do wonders for improving their safety and that of others. Finding out how recently they’ve had their eyes checked. Do they have untreated cataracts? Do they need a cushion to sit on due to spine shrinkage? My Dad is 89 and still drives everywhere, very well. But we no longer let him drive across the country unaccompanied because we’re just playing it safe and he greatly enjoys the company.
I don’t know if there was anything that could have been done for that driver with Hollie today or not. But just wanted to point out a few things. So glad you were OK Hollie!! And you absolutely did the right thing to go over and talk with her about it!!
I am very glad you are OK 👍 have a great day.
My prayers are with you 🙏❤
WOW! Sounds like that lady should not be driving. I am glad that you are okay Hollie , Big HUGS to you!!
It’s really sad these days, so many elderly people being neglected or taken advantage of. Great to see things coming along on the shop!!
Thank God you are ok Hollie I totally agree with you totally on the old drivers I am 68 and know when I get behind the wheel I gave a huge responsibility to be alert be safe thank you for your videos
Firstly, vlogging and driving isn't the safest thing at the best of times, please don't do it in an emotional state, it vastly increases your risk of a wreck.
I took the keys off my dad at 85, it wasn't easy or fun but there comes a time when it is irresponsible not to do so.
Love that adjustable-height workbench! I want one of those.
All glad that you made it out alive Holly. I've never understood why people think that a parking lot is any different than a school zone. Years ago my father witnessed a car flying through a parking lot like it was an empty field. A small child walked out between parked cars and he witnessed that little girl hit and killed in a very horrific way. Ever since he relayed that story to me, I never go through a parking lot without following the isles and being mindful of pedestrians! This illustrates just how quickly life can change and how fragile it is.
A similar thing happened to a family friend of mine. A dump truck was going down a residential street and a young girl walked out from between two cars parked on the side of the road. So sad, and just a tragic accident. Then people wonder why some parents watch over their kids like a hawk.
My daughter works at the home depot in Thomaston GA and was hit by board off the rack that elderly person was trying to get the old man walked away with out saying a word, but security seen it before he left was told not to come back, great video keep up the good work God bless from GA stay safe
When my Elderly Mother said "I''m Not Driving Anymore"
was one of the greatest "Reliefs" of my Life
Glad you're ok. No need to apologize for your emotions.
So glad you are okay physically. I can really understand the emotional impact of that scary incident. A man backed over my mom in a Walmart parking lot and knocked her down, then drove off. It scared her badly and bruised her up. I do volunteer work. One of the other volunteers who drives himself to the worksite is 98 years old.
As someone who has been in several accidents before, I can tell you that it gets stuck on your mind for a while. Good to hear that you weren't too seriously injured. I know with my current injuries now from a previous accident, if I took a hit like that and ended up on the ground, it would be game over for me. I wouldn't be moving without struggling to try.
So glad you are ok after your Home Depot incident and you are right. People know when they get to a point when they should not be behind the wheel and for some it’s hard to let go of their independence. The sad part is that most don’t have anyone to assist them in getting around. My heart goes out to those people but Holly you are right. When people get to that point in life they really do need to step back and ask for help instead of putting others in danger. Again glad you are ok
It is scary! Glad you were not hurt. Wish we did a better job of taking care of our elderly. God bless you.
First off, truly happy for you and Walt that you didn’t get hurt badly! It was a great reminder how everyone is human and needs care and attention.
Wow! Just UNBELIEVABLE! I’m glad that you were NOT SERIOUSLY HURT! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️🩹 Sending Hugs n Loves!!
Dear Hollie. You are emotional because of your big beautiful heart and that’s why we all love you. I’m so jealous of your white bench.I’ve had my eye one for awhile. It will be great for you vertically enhanced people. Possible video retitle “ Another off track day”😂
I'm so glad to hear that you were not hurt. It is tough to look after older family members. I know because the wife and I are doing that right now. You are so right about them not driving if they can't see people or just simple things. Prayers for you and Walter! Love the build!
Hugs to you Hollie, you had me shedding a few tears too. I worry as Im getting older about when I will have to stop driving. Driving is my favorite thing to do to de-stress. Please do think about filing a report on her. Next time it might not be an adult she hits.
Glad you are Okay 👍 👌
I'm glad you're ok Hollie and that you were not injured and safe back with Walter
Glad your ok. Look forward to progress on the build!!!
I am glad you are ok! Love that cart. Love the inventions that make shop life more efficient.
Glad you are safe Hollie. That is pretty traumatic. You couldn't have said it better. When our capacity has dwindled to the point where we cannot function appropriately then we need to take a step back and reevaluate.
I live in Florida and I've always said that when you reach a certain age that the DMV should have you test on a driving simulator instead of just automatically renewing your license. It's scary, the things that I've seen on the road. I never trust someone else in a car to be doing the right thing. I guess since I started my driving privileges on a motorcycle, I keep my head on a swivel and drive defensively. Always expect the unexpected. My career was in OTR truck driving and very proud of the fact that I have over 3 million miles without an accident and counting. Glad your okay. Be safe out there people.
I hear you say that you're not hurt, but not all wounds are physical. Glad you're okay Hollie.
Your SO awesome.
I love your uplifting objective on everything.
You got this ! No more tears !
Oh Miss Hollie! I am so glad you are ok! Stay safe friend.
I am so glad you are ok Hollie . I don't blame you for being upset and I agree with you that some elderly people should not drive . Take care and catch you on your next video.
I was crossing the street at a stop sign with my dog. An older lady(I’m 76, so when I say older you get the idea) did not even hesitate at the stop sign. She could barely see over the dash, or maybe she couldn’t. Anyway she was going very slow and I was able to get clear of her without being hit but she kept going as if all was well.
An ordinary trip to the store can end in disaster. An incident like that reminds us that life can change in an instant. Thankfully you didn’t get hurt!
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Ive been there and had that happen as well Hollie and most seniors really need to have serious checks done to determin if they should have their tickets pulled. My own grand pa quit driving at the age of 75 only because he had lost the use of one of his eyes from a normal wear and tear. But he decided long befor he lost his sight to stop driving. Thanks be to the Heavenly Father he lived well into his late 90s.
Glad you are OK. people don't pay attention in parking lots. The ones that irritate me are folks that drive too fast in parking lots. Guess they think they are on the highway.
I am sorry that this happened to you, Holly. Please rest. You will be emotional about it for a little while, but as I said, relax. You are right about the fact that there comes a time that we as adult children have to take the car keys away from our parents, who will fight us on that. But the facts are that it is not only for the safety of others on the road, but for their own safety as well. It is also to protect their retirement too. God forbid they seriously injure someone, or worse, and they are sued, they could lose their home, and have to pay a huge settlement, and they would have difficulty paying for their medicine and food not to mention other bills. It is the hardest part as we get older having to protect our parents.
Two things have kept me from having a bad day as a pedestrian and as a driver… Expect people to do the unexpected and don’t move until you have eye contact with the other person. A little patience is better than damage and injury.
I just moved to southern Utah from a more populated area and I can assure you, the people here in Washington county drive EXTREMELY DANGEROUSLY. We just had a fatality 2 days before in front of Costco.
You would think all the children playing in the streets would deter fast drivers, nope. In my residential area, people drive 50+ in a 25 daily. Kids lives don’t matter to drivers. In addition I see many people driving at night without headlights on regularly. I rarely saw this before.
It would be awesome if Matt’s off road would do a PSA on driving safely and wearing a seatbelts as it is common here to not wear one.
I love Utah and the freedoms here are awesome, but there is huge room for improvement in driving safety, seatbelt usage, and vehicle safety. Glad you are ok!
Hi Hollie 👋
I just got off a 12-hour night shift I got to my hotel and tuned in on your video just so I can tear up with you. I'm so glad your ok and your right when it pertains to certain people they shouldn't be driving. Again I'm so glad your ok .
So glade you are ok and she wasn’t going faster
Much Love From Texas Rock Outlaws and from me Jeromie Baugh and family
Really opens your eyes
I am glad you are ok Hollie.
Glad you’re ok ! I agree with you totally and it’s sad. Sooo many elderly are out there fending for their self. So many don’t have anyone else to take care of them. It’s even sadder that so many do have family yet the family has forgotten who raised them and are to lazy to help take care of the one who raised them as a child. I have an elderly buddy who’s a thorn sometimes lol, that’s what he calls himself. But his wife has dementia and he can hardly ever get out to do anything for taking care of her. He has family and children but none of them have seen this 75 year old man cry just to get out and have some peace for even just a few hours the way I have. He’s constantly asking me to come help him to stuff and he thinks he’s being a pain to me. But to take him somewhere and watch him cry because he just needed that little bit of relief....that’s sad. I as an adult love my parents and I could never let my father go through as much pain as this man has been through by not seeing where he needs help and helping him with her.
Holy crap I'm glad you're okay! That's got to be frightening as all get out! People sometimes just don't have all their awareness which isn't great.
👍❤️ Glad you’re okay,
So glad you're ok, Hollie! What a miserable thing to have in your experience. I'm sensing a visit with MischiefMaker and some rocks may be beneficial. Take care of yourself!
Hollie glad you're OK. You make a great point about people who need to be more careful. WELL SAID!! We all need to be reminded from time to time...Just one thing I would like to mention. THOSE WHO WHO TEXT AND DRIVE PLEASE DON'T!! I'm well aware that this wasn't the case but it is a major issue these days. I feel that texting wile driving is much worse than Drinking and driving,only because you're aware of what you're doing....It can wait people..Texting wile driving is not worth killing someone over.. About 4 months ago my nephew who was in a crosswalk at his place of work a Hospital and was hit by a car. The woman who is a colleague that hit him admitted she was clearly at fault by playing with her phone 📱..Texting.. He survived and will be ok. I gotta wonder what was so important on her phone that couldn't wait?? Anyway thanks for taking the time for reading this.. Be safe everyone. 🙏
Sorry to hear of your bad experience.. People have to be responsible for their actions. Hard to believe they hit your cart and "didnt realize" I ran into you. Especially after you were knocked to the ground. Some sorry people behind the wheel.
Glad to hear you are physically ok‼️🥰
Glad you are OK. I can tell you that as an avid motorcyclist I trust no one driving anything. My head is constantly on a swivel, whether I'm walking, riding or driving.
Ditto, glad you're ok. It's hard when you're on your own and have no one to help with even the little things. God bless, stay well.
So sorry that happened to you but you are absolutely correct some people need to realize it is time to quit driving glad you didn't get hurt Hollie
Everyone needs to be spiritually ready, because it could all end in a split second. There may be no time to reflect and alter ones life before facing The Judge.
Wow holy I'm glad you're okay. That could have went really bad for you.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤🤗🤗😘.
Yes I agree with you there's some people that shouldn't be driving even to shopping cart.
You take care girl.✌🏽✌🏽🤗😎.
I am very happy your okay. And the reason your so upset is because you are a kind and loving person. I enjoy watching you. Now you could stay home and probably not experience such things. But you wouldn't be happy or even be the person you are. So now remember and be vigilant and keep on enjoying life.
I am sorry this has happened to you Hollie! Sending ghost hugs from Minnesota! We love ya girl!🤘🤘
Holy cow, Hollie! So glad you weren't hurt!!! Agree- Walter needs to give you a bunch of big hugs!!!
Hollie!! So sorry you where there at the wrong time and wrong place. BIG BEAR HUGS TO YOU!! 🐻 🧸 The shock of the event will keep playing in your head. Tell yourself that you are a survivor!!!
Did you report it to the store? CCTV would have been rolling. I'm just thinking the more paper trail for that elderly lady just might keep her out of the driver's seat! 😉😉
So glad you are ok! Be kind to yourself, please! The brain will be racing after that for sure!
😎👍🏻🌻
Thank God was watching over you. Thank for the very real moments shared. Very scary to be a human involved in a car incident.
Yep, you said it right Hollie, after a certain age some older folks should not drive! I think it was Clint Eastwood, in one of his movies, who said "a man needs to know his limitations" and that is the truth!
Oh my God! I am so glad you are ok. She shouldn't be allowed to drive any more. That's super scary.
Holly, so glad you’re okay, watching you after the accident…you were in Shock, I felt so bad for you.😢
I'm glad you're okay Hollie, I am grateful for every day, Take nothing for granted.
Definitely great advice! Thank you!
Hollie you had a close call with my greatest fear. I retired from 34 years of working on the highway and survived. To die or be injured in a parking lot would be a sad ending to me!
So glad you are okay. scary.
Glad you did not get hurt! I am 72 and was first time I did not pass vision test for renewing driver’s license. I was shocked and noticed that I now need to renew every 2 years rather than 5 … so around this age is when things are going south … it really sucks! A reminder that someday, my freedom to drive will be gone. But for now, always wear my new glasses driving.
Thank you for being responsible. I’m really glad I did not over react yesterday, but I took steps today to educate myself on the process and what happens and I have a good update for you guys tomorrow! I appreciate your awesome comment. 😊
I almost bought this workbench for my computer desk last year. All the best on your work preparing for King of the Hammers!
Glad you and Walter weren't hurt. Either of those situations could have been very bad.
A side note on your Husky adjustable workbench, the bottom leg support should be able to bolt near the casters allowing the bench to fit around a tire. We use the same bench while working on aircraft.
Wow, thanks for the advice on the bench, I’ll definitely be moving it so we can store things underneath the bench! I honestly get the best advice from my subscribers - you rock😊🤘🏻
So glad u are ok everyone takes life for granted. That could have been really bad and thankfully everyone is good. Love the license plate that's amazing!! Love what u do on this channel u are amazing!!!
Glade to see you were not hurt.
I'm glad you are unscathed. Also, understand that feeling.
Glad to hear you're ok. 6 years ago riding with my mom who at the time was 79 or 80. I was the passenger as she was driving. Seen how dangerous she drove. To her vehicle away and explained to her is was for better. Yes I agree we need to watch out about the elderly out driving.
I am so sorry that happened to you. I took my mother off the road in the summer of 2021. She caused a car accident and rear ended a lady that stopped for a pedestrian. Mom was in intensive care for about a week, then reg care for another. Then into a rehab center for 3 more weeks. She was 81, broke 4 ribs, her sternum, needed spleen surgery and had a brain bleed. To this day, she does not take blame for what she did. I take her everywhere she needs to go and I took her freedom from her. I say, “MOM, what if you killed that pedestrian. I still feel guilty that I did not take her car away sooner. So glad you are ok.
Glad you are okay Lady! people just don't think at times!
Glad no people were harmed in the making of this episode.
Glad you're okay.
So glad you're ok. I agree with you there are dome that need to stop driving.
I'm sorry you had that happen to you. It is so hard for some people to give up what they think is a right and not a privilege. Thank god my parents stopped driving when they were getting to that point. And I hope I will also. Yes, it is dangerous to do something beyond your time to stop it. Take care, all older folks do take seriously to stop when they need to. Cheers from an American who understands that drama all to well as I serced in the fire service for years and saw a lot of tragedy due to bad driving.
Thank God that you were not hurt .And you are right people like that should not be able to get a driver's license . Please talk Care of your self .TAKE CARE .
I am happy you are okay! I'm even happier that you found an adjustable bench. Ergonomics is important to back safety and worker state of mind. Between Sir Walter at 6'10" and you at 6' you both cannot work comfortably on the same bench so kudos to you Young Lady.
You are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
Glad you are ok. Long story short 23 years field service 40 k miles a year on the road. I have seen a lot I agree if you are not fit to drive don't. sending hugs 🤗
Glad you are ok, relax
Keep doing what you guys do and God bless you and your family's
Love so sorry you had that terrible experience 💔 glad you did not get physically injured 😢
Thank GOD you are ok Hollie!!!
People make mistakes. Never let your guard down. Eyes 👀 open. No shortage of idiots out there. Dust yourself off and be prepared for next time. Happy you didn’t get hurt. Love the channel.
Glad you are ok Hollie!
I want to give you a giant hug! Glad you are physically healthy, but clearly rattled!
Thank you, Jenn! That was a really weird and emotional day.
I hope you are enjoying the island life!! 💙
Definitely be cognizant of your abilities. I was down with a broken ankle and abscess teeth, and when I got better, I felt that my vision and attention span were not sufficient for driving, so I had to bum rides until I felt that I was capable of driving again.
Glad your ok Hollie. I just got back from Walmart, I went at opening time for the very reason you discussed. I dont wish to get run down in the parking lot and I stack the odds in my favor every time I can.
Always keep ya head on a swivel!
Glad ya ok Hollie! Take some time to process it.. i am sure Walter will Help
Glad that you are Ok and it was just a bad experience. Hope that lady goes home and gives her keys to a responsible person to drive the next time!
Glad your not hurt! Parking lots are some of the most dangerous places to be. To many folks with cranial rectal inversions.
Glad you’re ok. Had a similar experience once with an older person. As you say please be aware if you drive. It just takes a second and a life can be changed.
So sorry for your incident, glad you are okay. Love the plate for Nessie.
Glad your ok.
There are some people that see a red light and stop in the middle of the intersection and are young and in there 20’s and 30’s.
Just seen that with 2 different vehicles yesterday 🤦♀️.
You are correct Holly but not everybody has someone but those who do should
So glad you're safe. People don't realize how fast/much they freeze when an accident is happening.
Walter sitting like a rent-a-cop on his phone guarding the door. Probably watching UA-cam. 😂
