Of the former group, not all drive. Of those who do, not many
will be able to in the near future.

Care to explain what you mean by "near future"? Senility doesn't
generally appear that quickly, and Freedom Passes are available to all
over-60s.

Senility isn't the only medical condition common in the over 60s which
prevents driving. However, you have a point. I should've said "Of those
who do, many will not be able to drive in the near future".
