Do older drivers or teen drivers cause more traffic accidents?
older drivers are more responsible for accident because cause of small height not look all sides.
How many accidents are caused by old drivers?
According to a NHTSA, in 2008 189,000 persons 65 or older were injured or killed in car collisions, out of 2,383,000. That is roughly 8% of all collision injuries or fatalities that year, a lower percentage than all other age groups except those 15 years and under. How many of those collisions were caused by the older driver is hard to say, but certainly not ALL these collisions were caused by the older driver. Lets say 2/3rds were caused by the older driver, that would mean about 5% of injury/fatality collisions were caused by an older driver in 2008. That means 95% of these collisions are caused by drivers in other age groups. Doesn't that kind of make you wonder why they are making such a big deal over car crashes by older people and not those in other age groups???!!!
How are drivers with permanent physical disabilities able to drive?
OLDER DRIVERS: One in six drivers is over age 65. 80% of drivers over age 75 take prescribed medicines. aging causes the following: -dulled vision -slower reflex -weaker muscles -reduced depth perception These symptoms can cause the driver to "forget" to yield the right of way which is a main factor in collisions involving older drivers.
Do aged drivers have fewer accidents per driver than those under age 65?
Aged drivers, typically defined as those 65 and older, generally have fewer accidents per driver compared to younger drivers under 65. However, while they may have a lower overall accident rate, when accidents do occur, older drivers are often more likely to be involved in severe or fatal collisions due to factors like diminished reaction times and increased fragility. It's important to consider that driving patterns, experience, and health conditions also play significant roles in these statistics.
Do older people cause more accidents on the road?
Statistically, younger drivers are involved in more accidents than older drivers. However, as people age, they may experience declines in certain cognitive and physical abilities that could affect their driving. It's important for older drivers to regularly assess their abilities and adjust their driving habits as needed.
Do age and vision contribute to collisions?
As you get older, your reflexes become slightly slower and your vision tends to become less sharp. Both of those factors can contribute to collisions. However, as you get older, you also tend to be a more mature and experienced driver, which tends to reduce collisions.
Are younger drivers better than older drivers?
yes
Who are at higher risk when they drink and drive older drivers or new inexperienced drivers?

Are the Appalachian Mountains older or younger than Pangaea?
They are about the same age, actually. The Appalachians were formed as a result of the continental collisions that formed Pangaea.
How many car crashes in 2007 were caused by senior citizens?
In 2007, senior citizens were responsible for around 15% of car crashes. This is based on statistics showing that older drivers aged 65 and over were involved in a significant proportion of traffic accidents that year.
Can the law get involved if you are with someone older then you?
depends on how much older
Is there cheaper car insurance available for older drivers?
There are some companies who offer cheaper car insurance premiums for drivers over 50, as they have less probability of getting into an accident because of their experience. Also a certain amount of discount can be acquired if one takes the 'Pass Plus' driving course. However, people older than 70 are considered to be at a high risk of getting involved in an accident,like the young drivers, and are offerred a higher premium rate.
