Mature Drivers

Older drivers have an excessively high rate of motor vehicle fatalities compared to other adult age groups, on a per vehicle mile traveled (VMT) basis.  In Georgia, motor vehicle crashes account for the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths among older adults age 65 and older.  In 2003, 150 (66%) of the 229 older drivers involved in fatal crashes in Georgia died.
