Yes, that totally does happen. There is a street in Hamburg, Germany, where in recent years over 20 senior citizens drove into the local shops:

You could also use that argument against emergency braking systems and airbags. If there is a string of accidents, you should search for a solution to prevent them. Just blaming people does nothing

We should also blame car manufacturers. Why are cars built to accelerate to 100 in a few seconds from standstill? If you’re parked (and the car can know the difference between being parked and a traffic light), why is acceleration not restricted? There is no reason for being able to accelerate like that in a parking space. You should get a much slower acceleration by default and car manufacturers could put that in their cars right now.
