You're taking about statistical averages but I'm talking about a significant minority of over-70s who are wildly dangerous. Most of them only stop driving when they cause an accident. Sometimes its a serious one.

There are already some measures for young people, like the 6 point thing. Maybe there could be more. Doesn't change the facts about dangerous OAP drivers

You sure about that?

“I'm talking about a significant minority of [under 25 year olds] who are wildly dangerous.” (Edit mine)

Don’t you think that statement is also true?
