  1. Careless Driving with a 10 year old in the car ?

  2. At 78 years old, pretty much any driving is careless driving.

    1. If you look at the actual data, the much higher accident rates are the people in their first 1-3 years of driving. This is why their insurance rates are higher.

      1. It’s seemingly a good point, however, people in their first “1-3 years of driving” represent a far larger percentage of the population than those who still insist on driving well into their dotage. It’s obvious to everyone that as people age their sight, hearing, and reflexes are far, far less acute, and that operating dangerous machinery under unpredictable circumstances is tremendously problematic at best, and potentially life-threatening at … well, you get the point. And if you really, really want to dig into the data, the demographic likely to be involved in crashes more than any other age group (including young drivers) is 70-plus. The driver in the present case is 78.

        So, nice try, pawpaw. Stay off the damn road, OK?
