Can be, yes.
But are at a statistically significant rate above & below a certain threshold.
Young kids and old folks cause a significant portion of all fatal accidents yet our society provides them no alternatives.
@huginn The alternatives are key. The US places a lot of its seniors in a terrible bind: prioritize safety by giving up driving even though your community is completely designed around cars, or give up on life, groceries, health care, social activities. Fixing the cities & providing stopgap transportation like shuttle services are more effective and humane than age-based driving bans.
