Older Drivers' Fatal Crashes Trend Down; Many Say They Self-limit Driving
Despite growing numbers of older drivers on the road, fewer died in crashes and fewer were involved in fatal collisions between 1997 and 2006 than in years past, a new Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study reports. Crash deaths among drivers 70 and older fell 21 percent during the period, reversing an upward trend even as the population of people 70 and older rose 10 percent. Compared with drivers ages 35 to 54, older drivers experienced much bigger declines in fatal crash involvements. Reasons for the fatality declines aren't clear, but another new Institute study indicates that older adults increasingly self-limit driving as they age and develop physical and cognitive impairments.
