Sadly, yes, it is true.
And yes, age can be a factor in not being able to drive safely. But it is the "not being ABLE to" that is the problem,. whether you are 17 or 87, if you are able to drive safely, then we can start discussing if you are responsible and safe behind a wheel.
But, people do age differently from each other and we need a way to screen out people that are unable to drive safely. One step could be testing more frequently as you get older. 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and then every year. Maybe starting at 60, 78, 84, 88, 90, 91, 92, etc.
