Abstract

An analysis of reports of 660 two car collisions from the records of an insurance company showed that car drivers of 60 years old and older are more apt to be considered liable in an accident than younger drivers. A comparison of accidents for which older drivers are responsible with accidents for which younger (30- 39) are responsible show that the former have problems of perception and decision making and the latter have problems with speed.
