On Facebook, they have an application where you can share "bumper stickers" with friends. I decided to upload one, and share it with all of my friends there:

Senior drivers a hazard? Young are worst: U.S. study
http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSN1636147820070718
Researchers found that in 2001, people 65 and older accounted for about 15 percent of all licensed drivers in the United States but caused only about 7 percent of accidents.
By contrast, people aged 15 to 24 accounted for 13 percent of licensed drivers but caused 43 percent of all accidents.
"While driving ability declines with age for most people, those seniors who continue to drive, appear to be safer drivers than the general public might think," said Loughran.
He said seniors appeared to make fairly sound decisions about when to reduce the amount they drive or stop driving altogether and drove much less than younger drivers, at safer times during the day, and avoided poorer road conditions.
But as senior citizens are generally in poorer health and more frail, drivers aged 65 and older are at much greater risk of serious injury or death when they do have an accident.
