This report reviews published literature and analyzes the most recent Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and National Automotive Sampling System (NASS)/General Estimates System (GES) data to identify specific driving behaviors (performance errors), and combinations of driver, vehicle, and roadway/environmental characteristics associated with increased crash involvement by older drivers. The analyses reveal, in considerable detail, the contemporary (2002-2006) crash experience of older drivers on streets and highways in the United States. The over- and under-involvement of drivers ages 60-69, 70-79, and 80+ in various crash types has been highlighted through tabular summaries, graphs, and accompanying discussion. For subsets of the two-vehicle crash data within each national database, crash involvement ratios based on comparisons of at-fault to not-at-fault drivers within groups of drivers from 20 to 80 and older, segregated in 10-year cohorts, provide further exposure-adjusted estimates of the magnitude of particular risk factors.
