Samenvatting

Type of collision, age, and liability were ascertained for nearly 1500 drivers involved in two-car collisions. The over-involvement ratio (i.e. the ratio of the number of liable to the number of non-liable drivers) was higher for drivers younger than 23 years old, or older than 50 years old, compared with the 23-49 year-old group. An analysis of the over-involvement ratio of the different age-groups within each type of collision did not point to some types of collision as especially important causes of the high over-involvement ratio of older persons. However, collisions with oncoming cars when turning left are an exception. This study largely confirms an earlier one by the same author. (A)
