chosen.content: According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, elderly drivers (those aged 65 and older) are less likely to be involved in a fatal crash per miles driven than any other age group. However, the rate of accidents caused by elderly drivers is still significantly higher than the rate for youthful drivers (15-19 years). Elderly drivers are involved in about 3.2 million of the total 6.1 million accidents and approximately 2.9 percent of total accidents are caused by elderly drivers, despite the fact that elderly drivers represent only about 8 percent of the licensed drivers in the United States.

rejected.content: According to a 2018 study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), elderly drivers ages 65+ are less likely to be involved in fatal crashes when compared to drivers in younger age groups. Specifically, the study reports that the fatal crash rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is 5.47 for drivers aged 85+, compared to 7.16 for drivers aged 20-24. Additionally, elderly drivers have the fewest number of crashes per capita out of any other age group when measured per 100 registered vehicles.
