Are you an older driver? If not, you probably know one — a parent, grandparent or neighbor down the street. Between 2011 and 2020, the U.S. population of people 65 and older increased by 35%, and in 2020 the number of people 65 and older killed in traffic crashes made up 17% of all traffic fatalities. During Older Driver Safety Awareness Week (December 5–9, 2022), we remind you that simply getting older doesn’t mean it’s time to hang up your keys, but you should evaluate how you — or loved ones — drive.
