I'm just saying, we should face the facts here. With people that old, their body is dying, their eyesight and hearing is going and their reaction times are down.
Did you watch the south park episode about old people driving? They are dangerous!
Demonstrable evidence that you are wrong.

80 year old drivers have less accidents and less fatal accidents per millage driven than 16, 17 and are about equal to 18 year old drivers.
Even at 70, they are about equal to 30 year old drivers. 75 year old drivers have less fatal accidents than 30 year old drivers.
85 year old drivers have less fatal accidents than 25 year old drivers.
But of course, South Park is a much more reliable source than Consumer Reports. What was I thinking?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
