Alice Ross, who was born in July 1918 when cars were still a rarity on Britain's roads, is thought to be the oldest person prosecuted in Scotland.
It is alleged that she drove on the wrong side of a road in Caithness, mounted a verge, drove along a pavement and hit a couple who were holidaying in Scotland to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.
