The next generations of older drivers will bring a new set of challenges for road safety.
One familiar debate concerns the contrasting situations of rail and road safety.
Interviews were carried out with road safety co-ordinators, transport planners and facilitators of older drivers' refresher courses.
Non-compliance with road safety rules is clearly related to the oversupply of the market brought about by its deregulation.
Some research suggests that older drivers do not represent a large road safety problem, as indicated by the number of their crashes.
However, measurement of driver performance, with respect to road safety, is a matter of great difficulty.
It reconstructs this history through the examination of government documents, press releases, newspaper articles, newsreels, public information films, and other road safety materials.
It is also important to identify the particular situations that prompt nervousness among older drivers so that targeted road safety advice can be given.
