I agree with your argument here, most crashes are definitely caused by younger drivers. I know in Australia it's almost prohibitively expensive for under 25s (especially men) to take out insurance - the statistics suggest rightly so.
A bit of context for my comment - the driver in my collision did have on glasses and appeared to have trouble opening her left eye fully, hence why I agreed it's a fair argument that she should consider whether or not she should still be on the road. Obviously not an easy decision to make, but clearly a conversation worth having if accidents start occurring.
