With age you lose your brain to body part reaction time which is the most important thing while driving. It's the same as driving drunk, your censory system is jaded.

I agree that testing for the elderly should be different than that for a younger person...but this does not negate the fact that the overwhelming majority of accidents involve those drivers that are under age 25...and of course the ensuing injuries...including death.
