Older Drivers Involved In Fewer Crashes, MVA Report Says
Elderly drivers are sometimes viewed as hazards on the road due to poor eyesight and diminished reflexes, but a preliminary report by the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration found that drivers between the ages of 75 and 89 actually had the lowest crash rate of all other age groups.
The report, prepared at the request of the budget committees in the House and Senate, compared the crash statistics of drivers from the ages of 16 to 100 and analyzed crash reports to determine age-based driving behaviors.
“While the number of older drivers continues to grow, the total number of accidents caused and the crash rate per licensed driver is lower than any other age demographic,” the report found. More
a similar stat arose when I lived in Florida. You can make numbers say whatever you want. They may not actually be in a crash but how many were caused by them. I think after a certain age you should have to re-test each year.
