Age concerned
Are some people not making too much of elderly drivers being on the road? Are there any verifiable statistics on the percentage of accidents by each age group from the teens to the eighties. I see more lunatic driving from teens and twenty-somethings than I do of seventy and eighty year olds.

UK Insurance statistics show that while the highest numbers of claims by age are for the under 25s, and the lowest are for the age group 50 - 60, they start to rise again after 60, rise more steeply after 70 and after 80 claims are second only to the under 25 age group.
