Older people have fewer automobile accidents than youger people. It may be that they don't drive as much or they are more careful, but that is fact.
Yet in other forums here in The Villages there is constant harping on old people shouldn't drive.

Just a hunch, but if you were to count the number of automobile accidents that occur
in the Villages you'd see those statistics change pretty significantly.
That would probably explain why some fora that are specific to the Villages, harp on old people who shouldn't drive. Get a whole bunch of old people together, make everyone who isn't old a significant minority (less than 20%), and you'll probably see a lot of old people doing a lot of stupid things, and very few younger people doing a lot of stupid things.
But that's because there just aren't a lot of younger people in that location.
