I guess it makes sense, a third of the population is 65+, they won't be around when the consequences of their unconscionable actions really hit. Oddly enough, I live in a university town in the Midwest, in a neighborhood with quite a few elderly residents. I've noticed quite a few elderly people driving hybrid cars.

There might be a little overlap there with elderly drivers looking for cars that have more assistive features. (In other words, newer and more computerized.)

This is probably due to that elderly people tend to be more wealthy, so they can afford a more expensive car. And hybrids are often nice.
