You're wrong Kristal. Read what I've copied from the DT.
Statistics show that older drivers cause fewer accidents than their younger counterparts do. Maybe this is because they already “self-regulate” (that is, they don’t drive at night, or go fast to impress girls), but according to Department of Transport statistics, 8 per cent of the country’s drivers are over 70, yet they are only involved in
4 per cent of crashes resulting in injury. Meanwhile, 15 per cent of the country’s drivers are in their tearaway teens or twenties, and are involved in 34 per cent of crashes where injuries occur.
So rather than running older drivers off the road, more and more organisations say we should be giving them the green light.
“Those who wish to continue driving beyond the age of 70 should only be prevented from doing so if there are compelling reasons,” says Simon Best, chief executive of the Institute of Advanced Motorists. “Rather than seeking to prevent older people from driving, we should make them more aware of the risks they face, and offer them driving assessments to help them eliminate bad habits.”
