| Annotation | As the population continues to age, there is an increasing concern about its effect on traffic safety, resulting in calls to tighten licensing renewal policies for older drivers. This study looked at licensing requirements in five Canadian provinces and their respective vehicle collision rates for ageing drivers. Contrary to expectation, the authors found a positive correlation between the stringency of the licensing system and mean crash rates. So increasing mandatory testing and licensing requirements for older drivers is deemed unnecessary. (JL). |
