I don’t think knowledge is the same as ability.
I’ll be the first to admit I don’t have the same mental ability as when I was 21. I may have more knowledge, and be wiser, but that’s not the same as having the same cognitive ability.
As it relates to driving, being wiser will allow me to reduce risks, but my ability to handle emergencies may not be as great. As we get older and older the decline due to aging can no longer be offset with experience or knowledge.
My mother gave up driving willingly, but my dad didn’t like it at all. It had to be done though in the interest of public safety and their own. Both were well into 80s.
