I think you'll find that most accidents are not caused by people over 65, but by drivers who think all other motorists should yeild to them. If everyone would obey speed limits, be considerate of other people, and simply use some common sense, there would be far fewer accidents.
AAA did a study on accidents-

Young drivers (under 20 years of age) were the most likely to be involved in distraction-related crashes. In addition, certain types of distractions were more prominent in certain age groups, for example, adjusting the radio, cassette or CD among the under 20-year-olds; other occupants (e.g., young children) among 20-29 year-olds; and outside objects and events among those age 65 and older. Variations by driver sex were less pronounced, although males were slightly more likely than females to be categorized as distracted at the time of their crash.
