Current state of the art: crashes and injuries road users indicates how often they are involved in crashes of a certain severity regardless of the severity of their own injuries. The vulnerability of a group of road users indicates what their average injury severity is when they collide with a particular force against another vehicle or obstacle. Injury rate 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 18‐24 25‐29 30‐39 40‐49 50‐59 60‐64 65‐74 75+ Figure 1.1.

Assisting the older driver 1.2.1. Crash involvement A comparison between the involvement in injury crashes per billion driver kilometres of drivers from different age groups (Figure 1.3) reveals a picture that very much resembles the one that was the result of the comparison between the injury rates for different age groups (Figure 1.1). Again, the youngest age group has the highest rate, followed by the oldest age group of those aged 75 and above, and the group of drivers aged 25‐29. However, when comparing the involvement in fatal crashes per billion driver kilometres between drivers from different age groups (Figure 1.4), the result is different from the comparison between the fatality rates for drivers from different age groups (Figure 1.2). Whereas crash rates for fatal crashes are the highest for the youngest group of drivers, fatality rates are the highest for the oldest group of drivers. Therefore, it appears that the fatality rate for young drivers is influenced more by their involvement in fatal crashes than is the case for those aged 75 and above. Although older drivers are also more often involved in fatal crashes than drivers aged 40‐59, their higher fatal crash rate cannot fully account for the level of their fatality rate. Other factors that could contribute to their high fatality rate are their physical vulnerability (see Section 1.2.2), their driving experience (see Section 1.2.4), the types of crashes they are involved in, and their driving behaviour (see Section 1.3). 1400 Crash rate (all injuries) 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 18‐24 25‐29 30‐39 40‐49 50‐59 60+ 65‐74 75+ Figure 1.3.
