And I can give give you an even longer list of those who are not! People I know who have moved to 55 and over communities have all surprisingly seen their insurance rates rise, some substantially. Their agents informed them of the great number of fender benders that occur in such communities. When I drive through one near where I now reside I am appalled by the large number of dinged cars I see.

Drivers In Motor Vehicle Crashes By Age, 2015 (from your link)

Age vs Involvement rate
16-20 35%
21-24 34%
25-34 25%
35-44 21%
45-54 19%
55-64 17%
65-74 15%
74+ 18%

Once again.... age without mention of miles driven is meaningless.

And your personal rates mean NOTHING. It's a fact old people pay higher rates.

And, the mention of car value, horsepower etc does statistically mean something.

Inverse relationship of car power/cost vs. .....

I’m not making a judgement here, just telling what I witnessed.

I just hope he doesn’t run over some hapless pedestrian he fails to see.

You said this:

Insurance rates tell it ALL. RATES GO UP for the elderly..... period.

Mine did not and in fact went down. You lied.
