Seniors for Safe Driving
Older Drivers
Safe Driving at Any Age
While not appearing in the statistics as a priority problem in Montana, demographics trends indicate that over the next 15 years there will a steady increase in the number of drivers over 60 years of age. While most older drivers are good drivers, the effects of aging can affect the safe driving ability of some seniors, resulting in slower reaction time and reduced visual acuity.
If involved in a crash, adults age 65 and older are more likely to sustain fatal injuries because of physical frailty resulting from aging.
