The California Legislature established the mature driver improvement (MDI) program through enactment of Assembly Bill 2610 (Katz, 1986). The legislation required the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to set standards for, and develop criteria for approving, education courses designed to update the driving skills and knowledge of drivers 55 years of age or older. The MDI course curriculum, required to be developed by DMV, includes information on defensive driving, traffic laws, and the traffic safety effect of driver fatigue and health, among other topics. The law also requires DMV to submit an annual report to the Legislature by July 1 of each year. The report is to include information on any differences between the driving records of MDI course graduates and those of drivers with similar characteristics, and on factors that might influence course participation. The present study constitutes the second annual report on the program.
