Maybe you are, but your reaction times have changed, it is a fact of aging.

I have been driving 40 years, and would never think that I am a great driver, hell, probably only an average driver, and I am sure as much as I would like to think otherwise, my reaction time has changed from when I was 30.

Age does usually make one wiser, not necessarily better. Experience helps, but degrades with age. My dad has been driving for 70 years, but I doubt he is a "good" driver today, and he was a professional driver his entire life.
Here is a good motto to drive by...
"Always drive like you're not as good as you think you are"
