Worst drivers by far are young men ... they seem only to be familiar with one pedal, the gas pedal. Most accidents are caused either by inexperience or by aggressiveness. Ontario has only recently introduced a graduated licence system; but for the elderly, after 80 they require an annual test. Not a special one, the same one that a new licence applicant has. As some have mentioned, the elderly drivers are experienced, and are usually cautious. Two big plusses. The insurance companies, who must be in the know, charge drivers under 25 more for insurance than they do drivers over 70. In Ontario, a 70 yr. old driver with a clean driving record, will probably pay only about 500 bucks a year for full coverage.
