Stop worrying about the 90 year-olds driving; if they do, they're just a nuisance, and not likely to cause an accident unless the people behind them are too impatient like most people are and the reason they speed which causes the accidents.
Just about everything you just stated is wrong. More accidents are caused by slower drivers than speeders. And there are plenty of 90 year olds driving in TV and Florida, but if you don't like that age, substitute 85 or 80. The point is, that regardless of age, slow drivers are a far greater danger than a "speeder". Just ask LEOs or truck drivers.
