It is unfair to assume that a senior driver will inevitably cause a serious car accident. But statistics do suggest that there is a connection between senior drivers and higher rates of fatal car accidents.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found that despite making up only 9 percent of the population and driving on a less frequent basis than other age groups, older drivers are responsible for a disproportionately high number of accidents.
According to the NHTSA:
- Older drivers cause 12% of all traffic fatalities and vehicle occupancy deaths annually AND
- Senior drivers are responsible for 17% of all pedestrian deaths.
