Should drivers over 70 hand in their keys ?

We had an elderly driver take out the local Chinese restaurant in Thornton NSW a couple of months ago. Hit the accelerator in the car park, flattened two bollards and landed in the restaurant. Luckily no-one was in the restaurant or happened to be walking past.

They insist in driving 15-20 k under the speed limit? Your source of information is?

Hitting the accelerator and landing in a spot not meant for a vehicle is not unique to elderly drivers. Younger drivers figure in these incidents also.
