Nope. The scenario suggested earlier is one in which a car driver can be not
involved but will have caused.

The question mark suggests you are asking me something. The answer is yes. I
wrote it in the first paragraph. Do you have any suggestions how it works?

It works like this.
Some drivers need to believe old drivers are a safety risk and should
be banned.
The facts do not support it.
They then need to make up the myth of a set of drivers with some sort
of force field round them that are at the same time both incompetent
but also able to cause accidents without getting hit themselves, time
after time.
Its of course ludicrous but people will accept anything if they start
from a "belief" rather than observation, evidence and logic.

Many car insurance companies prefer drivers over the age of 50 and
some will only insure this group. I think that speaks volumes.
