Are older drivers posing increasing risk to the public? If so, what public policies might mitigate that risk? Older drivers (those 65 and older) are slightly likelier than drivers aged 25 to 64 to cause an accident, but drivers aged 15 to 24 are nearly three times likelier than older drivers to do so. The authors of this paper conclude that stricter licensing policies targeting older drivers would likely not improve traffic safety substantially.

Drivers over the age of 65 are involved in automobile accidents at higher rates of any age group except youth drivers. In recent years, states have begun to adopt more stringent requirements for elderly drivers seeking to renew their licenses. Various provisions targeting older drivers include vision screenings, knowledge tests, restrictions on renewal-by-mail, and accelerated renewal cycles. I seek to show factors common to states that use these renewal provisions to determine what causes a state to have increased or lax restrictions on elderly license renewal. Using fatality accident data, I will determine which licensing renewal provisions are responsible for decreased accident rates. In conjunction with this quantitative analysis, I will conduct three case studies of state elderly driver policies for Florida (large elderly population), Illinois (stringent renewal provisions), and Pennsylvania (medical review practices). Based on my findings, I do not have enough data to determine which specific renewal provisions, if any, are effective in reducing accidents involving elderly drivers. Furthermore, the political climate in most states prevents legislatures from enacting these types of renewal policies. While further study of renewal policies is merited, states should also look towards non-age based screening processes that focus on a driver's capabilities when selecting drivers for further safety testing, and infrastructure changes to accommodate the deficiencies in aging drivers' abilities. These are effective approaches to addressing elevated senior citizen accident rates that are a more politically palatable solution, and hence more likely to be successfully enacted.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe and classify each state's driver's licensing laws and then test whether the licensing laws affect the percentages of over-64 persons licensed and the proportion of older drivers involved in accidents to determine an optimal level of driving. Design and Methods: This paper evaluates state driving rules, obtained from laws, regulations, and driver's manuals, tests, based upon Department of Transportation data, whether the type of laws affects driving and accident rates for those over 64 and suggests a uniform scheme combining self-reporting of driving problems, on-the-road tests of drivers who fall below safe driving standards, and individualized restrictions where these can enable drivers to safely operate vehicles. Results: Rates of licensure for those over 64 years and of the proportion who are involved in traffic accidents vary widely among states. State licensing rules are divided among seven categories. Regression analysis shows a relationship between the licensing category and both rates. Implications: A model (and thus uniform) driving statute is recommended, with final licensing responsibility resting with the Department of Motor Vehicles or equivalent agency and licensing based on an evaluation of actual driving performance.
