Elderly and dangerous driving

Reading the BBC article "Who, what, why: How dangerous are elderly drivers?" I had some reactions to it. I didn't like the perspective. The article was basically confirming that elderly drivers don't necessarily cause more accidents, but if accidents happen they are usually more critical or fatal in their consequences. The latter has to do with the fact that when an elderly person is involved in an accident they are more likely to be seriously injured due to the frailty of the bones. I would have preferred if the article had been written more from a more inclusive viewpoint. Rather than selecting elderly drivers to be the main focus, the article could have investigated who are the safest drivers. Or which age groups cause the majority of accidents. 
In many ways I feel that the focus on elderly in the news is frequently re-inforcing the views that growing older could be an issue. I would like to see more positive news about the elderly population. The fact that many are still driving (after health checks) shows how they keep active and participate in social life. It would be nice to remind everybody to drive with considerations for others particularly on weekends and bank holidays where people socialise with their families and friends.
