Actually, I know a lot of elderly people who would agree with you. 
There's nothing wrong with resting the elderly for driving ability. In 
fact, in some areas, AARP offers a course for the elderly about how they 
should judge their driving ability (since no states have laws about it) 
and they offer tips on how the elderly can drive safely, such as 
reminding them about their slower reflexes.
