I think if they were honest in their reporting, they would note that the number and severity of accidents by the over 55 age group is miniscule compared to the younger groups.

Under 25 and over 75 are the two most dangerous groups of drivers in the country.The under 25's because of stupidity and/or testosterone...the over 75's because of failing eyes,ears and brains.

I think what you are looking at in the older group is that accidents involving elderly tend to have more fatalities (the driver him/herself) because they are more frail. The accident rate itself has been going down about 1%/year for the older drivers.
