Reaction

Like I said. By the time they realize they need to use "emergency stop" they have already hit someone. Their brain does not register it fast enough.

But the one forcing them into the hazard situation

So basically they have to pay because other drivers are putting them in dangerous situations?

No it's not hazardous. They have to stop sometimes and they cant stop fast enough.

It's not about fault, it's about responding to suddenly changing situations

Cutting someone up creates a hazard?

Being able to quickly react to everchanging situations while driving is mandatory.

If you cant react fast enough you dont get to drive. The same law applies to young drivers.

The older driver becomes a second hazard in addition to the asshole

Again we fall back to statistics, if older people are so incapable why don't they crash more than the fit, young, capable people?

They do

Actuarial tables don't lie

And also you're right, if a young person isn't paying attention and crashed into a guy who cut them up, the guy who cut them up is still at fault

Link?

Go find them. They're everywhere. It's well known that insurance rates go up when you get past a certain age

They go up, but the highest bracket by far is under 20s

It's high when you start driving and again goes back to high as you get older

And I mean by far

He disparity is that elderly drivers are more likely to die themselves in a car crash, whether at fault or not

Because the elderly are simply more frail

A crash that a younger person can easily survive is not so survivable for an elderly person

Yes

Not only the elderly are a danger to others but to themselves because of old age

It's not their choice to be frail. They just are it's a fact of life.

@LOGiK if you ride a motorcycle you should realize that fault aside an accident is still an accident

It's the teenagers choice to not be high and do drugs. He can prevent it.

Regardless of who’s at fault

Theres almost always more than 1 party at fault

That isn't true either what

Accidents always suck

so preventing them is the best way possible, elderly should be retested every time they renew their licence

And under 20s shouldn't be allowed licenses then

In fact, speed limits should all be 20mph too

You'd get almost 0 fatal collisions if the most anyone drove at was 20mph

Max closing speed in a crash would be 40, there is a high survivability from that, especially in modern cars

And that would only be in the rare case of a head on

Also, with all seriousness

I think most elderly people would just say fuck you and drive anyway

They wouldn't bother to prove their competence and would just carry on driving, probably uninsured

They can be arrested <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>
