Abstract

Older drivers typically are involved in certain types of accidents. The paper studies one year of accident data from the AAA Michigan files involving drivers aged 55- 64, 65- 70 and above 70, to determine whether there is a pattern of increasing involvement in these accident modes.The data indicated that there is a pattern of increasing frequency of involvement in four of seven accident types selected. There is also a perceptible increase in the rate at which drivers over the age of 71 are considered to be at fault.
