Registration And Screening Handbook: Fill & Download for Free

Statistically such measures don’t seem to be necessary. Older drivers are aware of their limitations and make adjustments such as not following closely, limiting night time driving, driving slower, etc.All of the challenges that come with aging might lead you to assume that seniors represent a special menace behind the wheel. But data prove that this assumption is fundamentally wrong. Decades of statistics show that crash rates per mile driven are highest for the youngest drivers (ages 16 to 19), though they do begin to tick up steadily once drivers roll past age 70. But even at 85, senior drivers crash less often, per mile, than teens. And when they do, seniors are largely a danger to themselves.Older adults don’t get enough credit for their safe driving habits, says Emmy Betz, M.D., M.P.H., an emergency room physician and associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine who researches senior-driving safety.“Older drivers are more likely to use seat belts and follow speed limits,” Betz says. “They are less likely to drive at night or while intoxicated, or to text while they drive.” Many seniors also regulate their driving behavior, limiting their trips at night, on highways, or during rush hour.Public suspicion of older drivers isn’t based on facts or research but on a nonclinical factor: ageism. That’s the assertion—and that’s the word—put forward in a 300-page evidence-based handbook, “The Clinician’s Guide to Assessing and Counseling Older Drivers,” that was revised last year by the American Geriatrics Society and published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.This ageism extends all the way to our laws. Thirty-two states impose special registration burdens based on age, such as more frequent or in-person license renewals, and medical approval and vision tests. Maine requires vision screening for drivers once they reach 40; drivers 75 and older must pass a road test to renew their license in Illinois; and in Washington, D.C., drivers 70 and older need to have their physician sign off on their license renewal.The effectiveness of these interventions, however, appears to be limited. A 2014 study in the journal Injury Epidemiology concluded that no policy it examined significantly reduced fatal crashes for drivers younger than 85. How Seniors Are Driving Safer, Driving Longer
