This report documents a study of the traffic safety problems associated with elderly drivers. For the purpose of this study, 'elderly drivers' are defined as drivers age 55 or older. The study involved five major activities. First research was reviewed to determine what factors(e.g., deficiencies of performance, health and knowledge) are most strongly related to the aging process and the accident experience of older drivers. Second, 20 driver education courses made available to older drivers were reviewed to determine what had been and was being done to address these problems. Third an eight-hour program designed specifically for older drivers by National Retired Teachers Association/American Association of Retired Persons was evaluated. On the basis of information gained through these three activities, an older driver instructional manual--suitable for distribution by a variety of agencies serving the older community--was developed. Also developed was a set of recommendations to guide the development, content, and instruction approach taken in future programs for older driver retraining.
