I'm going to defend older drivers.

My mom is 80ish and still drives in the daytime (country roads) but not at night because her night vision is very bad.

The point is this. She knows her limits all too well. On occasion, she wishes she could drive at night but she doesn't want to kill or injure herself or anyone else. She asks other to drive her at night. She is quite capable of deciding what she is and isn't able to do anymore.

As far as I know, she has never had an accident or been given a ticket. She has been driving for at least 60 years. Why do people automatically assume that because you are old, you can no longer govern your own behaviour? Most of the elderly that I know are very sharp and would resent others limiting their activities.

Stereotypes are destructive. Please show a little respect. You, too, will be old one day.
