As long as it is on old people and driving and is not written in crayon. I could give a crap about my grade. I graduate in 1 week and am pretty much sick of school and papers.
Also you must have an education past the 5th grade.

Here's what I got so far in 20 min.
“Driving While Elderly (DWE)”
“There are nearly 25 million people age 70 years and older in the United States. This age group makes up approximately 9 percent of the total U.S. Population but accounts for close to 14 percent of all traffic fatalities and around 18 percent of all pedestrian deaths annually.” These are the kind of stats that give elderly people a bad reputation. I am sure everybody can confirm these generalizations in personal stories but does that make them true? Maybe the reason for more deaths among old people is because when involved in an accident, their bodies are too frail to absorb the impact. “Driving While Elderly” is a new social phenomenon that is sweeping the nation. These elderly are being pushed to isolationism by societies
There are numerous factors that inhibit an elderly person from driving safely. When the human body ages, it puts limitations to what it can actually do. The physicality’s can make it dangerous to operate a motor vehicle. Some of the issues that are involved with aging and driving include sight, hearing, reflexes, and range of motion of joints and limbs. All of these factors can put an elderly person in a situation where an accident can happen.
Sight is usually the most common...

Maybe break it down by State and Population density, showing that old people in the country can safely drive, due to less traffic, and less taxing situations, then contrast this to the city, and show how people get into more accidents period, but show that the old people are X times more likely to be hurt or killed, and the rate of different age groups...
BTW I'd like to congratulate Fumanchu on, completely de-railing this thread, where a trainwreck in comparrrison looks like childsplay !

I was basically going to make that argument too. First I was going to explain the problems that face them physically wise and then go into the other crap. I also have 8 steps they should take when they get older. That killed one page
