Chronological age, personal physicians should not decide when someone can't drive, study reveals
A recent study suggests that chronological age and personal physicians should not be the sole determinants of a person's ability to drive. It highlights that drivers under 25 are responsible for a significant portion of fatal traffic accidents. The Transportation Ministry's findings on elderly drivers do not clarify whether they pertain to drivers or pedestrians.
- ▪Drivers under age 25 are involved in about 20% of all fatal traffic accidents.
- ▪The elderly are more likely to be injured or killed in road accidents according to the Transportation Ministry.
- ▪The study questions the reliance on age and personal physicians to assess driving capability.
