Don't lay it all on older drivers who have had more driving time over the years.
Personally, I think older drivers are more careful than many younger ones. Younger ones are in a hurry for their weekend or 2-week vacation of fun. Older ones allow more time to get there and don't drive long days. Younger ones might have more distractions in the vehicle like children, loud music, various gadgets, etc.
Really, in our 16 years of full-timing and traveling constantly, the accidents we've seen have only been a handful.
...just my opinion. :)
