[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are some actual stats not from the insurance industry:

Each day, 25 older adults are killed and over 740 are injured in crashes.

Drivers aged 70+ have higher crash death rates per 1,000 crashes than middle-aged drivers (aged 35-54).

From the original source for that link and statistic:
[i]2017-2018:[/i]
•Fatal crashes per licensed driver lower for drivers 70–79 than ages 35–54.
•All crashes per miles traveled lower for drivers 70–79 than ages 35–54.

And from the NHTSA:
“Motor vehicle crashes were the leading cause of unintentional death in 2020 for the 15- to 24-year-old age group in the United States (CDC, n.d.). In 2021 some 2,116 drivers 15 to 20 years old were killed, and an estimated 203,256 were injured in motor vehicle crashes (NHTSA, 2023). In comparison with adult drivers, young drivers are substantially over-involved in crashes. In 2021 drivers 20 and under made up 5.1% of licensed drivers in the United States, yet they made up 8.5% of total drivers in all fatal crashes and 12.6% of drivers in all crashes. As shown in the figure below, drivers 15 to 20 years old have the highest involvement in fatal crashes of any age group.”
