Research indicates that older adults crash risk is elevated as compared to that of middle-aged drivers. Crashes involving older drivers will likely increase as baby boomers age, particularly as this cohort is expected to delay retirement. Means of identifying older drivers whose risk is elevated due to the effects of normal aging or to an age-related medical condition would help licensing agencies such as Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs) act to reduce risk. Clinicians who work with older adults and their families could use such tools in their efforts to balance the older adults need for mobility with safety concerns.
