Yet I know of many elderly drivers who should have hung up their keys but kept on driving until they killed or maimed someone. Check the statistics. The very young and the very old drivers cause most accidents. Those in the middle who drive responsibly - the group I am touting - are the safest and best driver.
p.s. Goodlife: I noticed your Porsche avatar. Are you a Porsche affectionado? I have had a few. All the Porsche’s drivers I know love to drive very fast!

Actually, according to statistics, drivers over the age of 75 have one of the lowest percentages in accidents of all age groups, the largest percentage of ages involved in accidents are concentrated in age groups from 20 to 54 years old.

Yes have a Porsche Panamera S, lovely car but no I don't drive very fast, sometimes on the freeway a bit but not around here. I'd love to go 80 on parts of Buena Vista but that kind of ticket is very expensive! When I am here I rarely use it, my golf cart gets me almost everywhere I need to go.
