I'd be worried about the drug crazed numpties or drunks on our roads before I worry about some old driver.
You've never seen the news stories of old people hitting the accelerator and not the brake? Happens quite often.

When i was growing up that happened at the local tennis court. 2 kids got flattened by a car coming through the fence. Luckily kids bounce, so the only injuries were to the fence, court service and the corolla. But age doesnt denote if youre not spacially aware and a crap driver.
