Also a lack of public transport in rural area might be a major factor into people of older years driving.

No dis respect to either, but i am sure that now neither of your folks are as agile or as sharp at reacting to quick hapening situations as they once were.
me thinking that they the 75+ should have their licence revoked has nothingto do with me not being greatful or respectful for the sacrifice they gave for their country and our future.
yes i agree that lack of public transportis a big issue for keping a lot of people on the road.
I think the age and condition of a driver shouldbe taken in to concideration when insurers decide who is at fault. I need glases for driving and if i was caught after an accident and it was my fault cos i did not see something then it would be my fault, just as i think if an old frail slow reacting driver caused an accident they shold be to blame.
