The population of adults 65 and older is the fastest growing
demographic in the United States. It is estimated that by 2030,
drivers over 65 will represent a quarter of total driver
fatalities. When comparing the crash rates per mile driven of
various age groups, the data resemble a U-shaped curve. Young
drivers have the highest crash rate, which drops as drivers leave
their teens. After age 25, the crash rate remains low until around
age 70 when it begins to increase again. This U-shaped trend on
crashes per mile driven has been found in many studies in many
countries. Given the increase in crash rates around age 70, there
should be a significant safety benefit in identifying potential
problem older drivers before they are involved in a serious crash.
The driver licensing process is one potential point for an
intervention. This book discusses the examinations of licensing
procedures and driver skills evaluation in relation to older
drivers.
