Ah yes. There too were issues when my parents got old. I feel you.
Here is what they did: When they were in their 60s and saw their reaction time decline, they purposefully got the smallest, lightest car with the best (front) visibility and lowest tier of motor they could find. They knew shit would happen and acted accordingly. They did not purposefully buy a >2000kg murder weapon with an acceleration of 3.4 to 5.1 seconds from 0 to 100.
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.

I’m sorry this happened to your dad.
