Easy solution but not one that would go over well-no license issued after a certain age, period.
And a solution that would solve virtually nothing...
The 2016 fatal vehicle crash rates from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for instance, show that 16-19 year old drivers had the second highest rate at 17.8 fatalities per 100,000 drivers, only a little better than the 20-34 year old group at 21.6. The 70+ age group on the other hand, was the lowest at 13.1, with the next lowest the 35-69 year old group at 13.3. Those numbers would seem to indicate that no one should be allowed to drive until they're at least 35...
I drove 1000's of miles at 18 and even more as I aged. BUT driving across the USA you are subjected to many , many folks that shouldn't be on the road and age has nothing to do with it.
I agree with you! The statistics just point out that old age in itself is not sufficient reason to withdraw driving privileges.
