I would say Old people are probably the worst of the two groups but, call me sexist I think the worst are women drivers.
It's always the old lady that hits you... See above stories.
It's always the 16 yr old girl that crashes into a light post, curb, or the car in front of her because she is talking on the phone about that Dreamy guy.
It's always that lady thats trying to put on makeup, shave her legs, eat breakfast , ***** at her kids, and talk to her sister on the phone about what a bastard her husband (who works so she doesn't have to) is while driving the biggest SUV known to man that runs you off the road.
I don't think it's so much an age thing.

I think both are pretty bad, you got the old folks that don't pay attention and has very slow reactions, and you got the younger drivers that think that they are indestructible and drive very recklessly, and talk on their phones, or just trying to multitask in general, but again its just my thoughts

I have a different opinion who the worst drivers are and they are not on the list with your poll. One example would be women in SUVs on cell phones in one hand and makeup in the other and just looking at herself in the mirror. All of that while turning on a red light without looking.
Of course there are really bad drivers, but I won't get into it here.

I'm going with old people... Worst drivers EVER!
Just this morning as I'm approaching a 4way intersection with a green light ahead of me, as I'm about to enter the intersection going about 45mph (thats the speed limit), I see an SUV pulling out into the intersection against a red light on my left side (I'm goint straight Northbound and she's going straight E bound against a red light!!! Actually, she was making a left turn to go South bound (opposite of my direction) ) As she pulls out (she never stopped at the light, she was just entering the intersection oblivious of the red light going about 30mph), lucky for me there was a car in front of me and she was going right for it (would be going for me if the car wasn't in front of me), the car in front of me has to do the craziest manuver to avoid getting T-boned by this old woman in her SUV! Several people lay down on their horns as this was the morning rush hour and we are all witnessing this happen. (Keep in mind we're doing about 45mph)! I had to pretty much come to a complete stop to avoid T-boning her, with my horn honking she has the most oblivious look on her face and didn't even tap her brakes, she just goes along her jolly way drinking her cup of coffee! My blood temp went up about 200 degrees at that very moment and I wanted to ram her just so she would know what she had done!
I was so pissed off that she was so oblivious to almost pwning like 5 cars! What a dumb *** *****! She really needs her lic taken away... I'd guess she was in her early 70s and was driving a Toyota Sequoia which isn't exactly the smallest automobile in the world!
I've witnessed old people do the stupidest things imaginable in my years of driving... Don't get me wrong, teenagers are really bad as well, but old people are just so confused and not aware of whats going on which calls for a VERY dangerous situation.
There should be far stricter rules and regulations for people over the age of 70 (or whatever age)... Just the thought of what she could have caused this morning sends chills down my spine... The car in front of me was a tiny late 90s corolla, it wouldn't have stood a chance against her tank.

Honestly, I think only this generation of drivers will feel this. Automobiles have only been around for a little over a century. Maybe 50 years ago, only the privileged had automobiles. Then 20-30 years ago, was when driving became norm.
But I think the general idea is: both young and old drivers are more dangerous on the road than middle aged drivers. Like everyone else said: young and reckless, old and decrepit.
