Abstract

In an experimental study elderly and younger drivers were required to make a series of decisions as to whether they could safely merge into the traffic on a crossroad. It was concluded that ageing drivers do not necessarily make more dangerous decisions, as might be expected from the decline in perceptual abilities, if they are given sufficient time to compensate for their reduced capacities in perception.
