Routledge The Safety of Elderly Drivers: Yesterday's Young in Today's Traffic

This Routledge publication explores the intersection of ageing populations and road safety through a sophisticated blend of sociological analysis and statistical evidence. As elderly drivers comprise an increasingly significant portion of traffic, understanding their behaviours, challenges and experiences becomes essential for policy makers and transportation professionals. The book moves beyond basic data collection to offer comprehensive insights into the daily lives and driving patterns of older motorists, examining accident experiences and risk factors with rigorous detail. Written for academics, researchers and professionals in transportation, gerontology and public health, it provides the evidence base necessary for informed decision-making about elderly driver safety and regulation.
