Generalisations cannot, and should not, be allowed to dictate policy.

Here in the UK, we have a driver's licence that remains in force from the date of passing the two part test, until the 70th birthday.

Thereafter, a medical is required, every three years, to renew the licence.

Professional drivers are even more rigorously controlled, but there have been Bus drivers still qualified in their late 80s, and I believe I am correct in saying that the oldest London Hackney (taxi)driver was in his nineties (and still able to satisfy physical and memory requirements).

Contrast that with the number of young drivers who can't remember that speed limits are maximums, and apply to all road users, or think that parked cars have been left for their use, provided they can get the doors open and jump start the ignition.

See, us oldies can generalise with the best.

The point is, as has been said above, IT ISN'T HOW OLD YOU ARE, IT'S HOW BADLY YOU DRIVE.
