The report provides information on driving records of senior drivers and research results concerning their performance. The information is meant to assist traffic safety administrators in making program and policy decision affecting older drivers, and may also be of use to the insurance industry, traffic safety researchers, and the general public. The report documents the general underinvolvement of older drivers in accidents, showing them to be a relatively low-risk group, although a higher-risk group in terms of accidents per mile. It also documents an increase in impairment of driving-related abilities with age, which could be considered justification for improved licensor testing procedures in order to identify and possibly correct visual, and perhaps other, health problems that are more likely to be experienced by older people.
