My parents also drive a small car. What you're advocating for is a change to the laws. My family is from rural Ontario. Many people my parents age drive pickup trusts to tend to their farms

I may agree with you but what you're asking for is a reclassification of vehicles to further restrict older drivers. Right now the law states they are free to drive what they want and on that item alone you're coming across like someone who knows better and demonizing people for their choices.

Again you may not be wrong but the law and society does not currently agree with you. This gives the same energy as demonizing people who get plastic surgery because they want it.
