Sure, drivers over the age of 70 may have slower reflexes, poorer vision, and drive slower than a one-legged dog on tranquilizers. However, a recent study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that older drivers are now less likely to be involved in a fatal traffic accident than those 35- to 54-year-old whippersnappers. While accident fatalities have been decreasing among all age groups over the past three years, they've dropped by 43% among elderly drivers and just 21% among middle-aged drivers. |
