• Abstract:
  This report described a systematic literature review that summarizes, evaluates, and synthesizes research published since 1999 on the safety of older drivers. It describes the selected studies, produced results across studies, and weighs study quality of the best evidence to date. It can be a reference document for both in-house use and use by other Federal agencies, State Highway Safety Offices, and other partners. The report is also useful to officials involved in licensing decisions, healthcare practitioners who advise older patients about fitness-to-drive, and researchers in the field of aging and older-driver safety.
