This is Why Seniors Should Have to Retake the Driver's License Exam Every 4 Years

This thread sparked my interest for an informative speech that I had to do for my class. Interestingly enough that people over the age of 35 are more likely to have accidents than people over 65. The 45-54 year old crowd makes up 20% of car accidents alone. Also, the 19 year olds and under make up less than 5% of accidents nationwide.

All of this is according to the 2009 Government Census.

that's because there are more people over 35 which includes 65 year olds.

and kids 19yrs and under that can legally (wat 16, 17, 18, and 19yr olds?)drive is a much smaller sample size.

Yes, however we're using percentages and not a specific number of legal drivers. People start dying off after 65 too lol.

You're right! I take back my generalization.
