Better than being crushed at a shop front by an elderly driver who pressed the wrong pedal. How many times do you see that? Every few weeks.

Or be killed in a head on by an elderly person who has a medical episode. Not uncommon either.
The statistics show you are very, very much more likely to be killed by a young male driver. See https://www.budgetdirect.com.au/car-...tatistics.html and https://www.bitre.gov.au/publication...thly_bulletins etc

It's probably also extremely unlikely that an elderly drivers will be on meths, drunk, speeding or using a mobile phone (many probably don't even own one).
