You say muscle strength peaks at 25 as if it supports your point about the 25-30 year old fighting condition, when the same fact could equally well support the case for the fighting condition of the 20-25 year old demographic.
Car accident rates have an obvious confounding factor. Of course the people with +5 years experience driving have a lower accident rate than the people who just got their license. Skill comes from practice. If you pushed the legal age for a drivers license to 25, the 25-30 year old demographic would probably suck at it and get into accidents in their first ever years on the road. There's no way around the fact that driving judgement has to be learned at some point, and is not just bestowed by the maturity fairy when you hit the big three ooh.
