I am quite convinced that older drivers are less likely to cause catastrophic accidents than younger drivers
anyone here can surely think about the last time they saw very high speed dangerous driving and the age of the driver
I cannot remember the last time I saw a very old person driving at very high speed or attempting a high risk overtake, traffic light racing or undertaking, etc
and this thread is about VERY old people, not people in their sixties

That's one example. I'm sure we could find a story about a women driver in her 30's who has a sedentary occupation causing a catastrophic accident. 
Gad's generality is correct, there is still the accident hump for young males and I understand there is an increasing trend for females.

Did you know that most people over the age of 80 will have not passed a driving test.
Driving test introduced 1935, I understand.
