Seth Bader, from Bader Scott commented on the findings: “Older drivers, defined as citizens over the age of 65 in this study, are some of the most at-risk age groups on the roads. As you increase with age, driving can become more challenging due to certain health aspects like a decrease in vision quality and slower reaction times. It is crucial that if you are planning on driving on the roads, you are taking the correct precautions and staying vigilant of other drivers.”
