This is an exceptional chart that prove everything. Thanks a lot for finding and posting. In my books old
grey ladies are worse enemies, may be only MAMILs could take crown.
Point is not that ALL driver after certain age have to give up licenses - some people in their 60, 70 and 80 can do many things better then much younger one. Point is - there are two groups of high risk drivers extremely
young and extremely old (older appears to be even worse). There are plenty of things going on trying to minimize road trauma caused by
young drivers, but nothing, absolutely nothing happens when it came to older ones. I always been advocating, I am advocating and I always will be - after certain age, say 65, all driver must past medical examination to be able to continue driving. Period. And those who not fit enough should be given special consideration and special rules, like not drive above certain speed, not drive in peak hours, not driving manuals, display "S" for "senior" while driving and similar measures.
FWIW - I ride a bike and passed 40-44 years group quite a while ago.
