| Annotation | Three papers at the conference relate to the behaviour of older road users. In 'Helping the older driver', Professor Patrick Rabbitt discusses results of three studies in which older drivers were asked what difficulties they were beginning to experience with driving, and what steps they were taking to cope with these problems. Dr Kit Mitchell has analysed accident statistics for different levels of risk among road users in different age groups, and had found that while people aged 60+ are under-represented among road accident casualties, increasing frailty means they are over-represented among fatalities. Lastly, Dr James Bevan discusses the GP's dilemma: how to keep older drivers fit enough to continue driving for as long as safely possible, and how to anticipate problems that may arise preventing driving.
