    You’re arguing against factual stats with some kind of generic “old people have old people problems sometimes” ?

      Yes. The young are reckless causing most of their accidents. We do what we can to prevent those accidents, seems like we could do a lot more. The old have accidents from downsides of aging/slowing reaction times/health issues. We can definitely do more than just hoping their kids take the keys away before it’s too late. One idea is regular driver’s tests starting at a certain age.
