GHSA's Mature Drivers Policy

Mature Drivers
GHSA is aware that it is projected by the year 2020, nearly 50 million Americans over 65 will be eligible for a driver’s license and almost one-half of them will be age 75 or older. A number of recommendations for addressing the needs of mature drivers have been made, including: making highway signs bigger and brighter; maintaining roadway signs and markings to the highest level of accepted performance; passing safety belt use laws; adopting state uniform vision standards; researching crash protection; and other proposals to improve the safety of mature drivers. GHSA strongly urges Congress and the Administration to address such recommendations through the enactment of appropriate legislation, research and programs, and to otherwise encourage implementation of such recommendations that will help all motorists, including the mature driver. |
