Maybe that really unfair. In USA on average a driver will be involved in two accidents in their life [0].
In France, my wife had a stroke one year ago, so she was forbidden to drive cars until the next exam.
A few days ago was the time for the dreaded exam, but happily she was reauthorized to drive. The doctor told her "if you know the state of many old drivers, many have undetected visual impairments or Alzheimer disease, yet they still drive".
