IIHS: Fatal Crashes Among Elderly Drivers Declining

Post by MSI »

Fatal Crashes Among Elderly Drivers Are Declining, IIHS Study Says
  • Maybe it's OK to let grandpa keep those keys a little longer. A February 2014 study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety finds car-crash deaths have fallen quite a bit among older drivers during the past 15 years. The rate of fatal crashes among drivers age 70 and older fell 42 percent per licensed driver between 1997 and 2012, outpacing the 30 percent drop for drivers age 35 to 54 over the same period
