what we do Neil is police ourselves....realise when we can no longer cut the mustard, whether it be due to eyesight, hearing or loss of confidence.....and also if we have elderly relatives who we consider to be a risk to themselves then we have to make them aware of their failings.(gently)
But I feel it would be a mistake to judge all older drivers by the few, and penalise the safe drivers just on age alone.
And as for accidents......these are occurences when circumstances arise that could not be prevented or foreseen......and as such are difficult to prevent.
Life is rarely black and white.
