Road safety and the <strong>older</strong> <strong>driver</strong><br />
1<br />
Crash patterns for <strong>older</strong> <strong>driver</strong>s are significantly different <strong>to</strong><br />
those of other age groups. For <strong>driver</strong>s aged 80 and over, the<br />
most common crashes are intersection crashes, where the <strong>older</strong><br />
<strong>driver</strong> is turning right across traffic, and crashes where the <strong>older</strong><br />
<strong>driver</strong> drives off the road.<br />
Studies show that many <strong>older</strong> <strong>driver</strong>s compensate for their agerelated<br />
decline in driving competency by self restricting and<br />
limiting their driving, for example, by driving in local areas or<br />
avoiding complex, difficult situations.<br />
