TL;DR
Age by itself cannot be regarded as an adequate basis on which to make a decision concerning a person's ability to drive, and decision making and judgments involving the use of short-term memory in a dynamic situation deteriorate with age, as do intellectual capacities; there is evidence to suggest that these aspects of the ageing process are more frequently the causes of accidents among old than young drivers.
