InvestigateTV+ examines challenges of aging and driving

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 13:41 · Archive

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports older drivers are more likely than younger drivers to be involved in car accidents and to be seriously hurt.

InvestigateTV+ has examined the emotional and practical challenges that arise when older people stop driving, offering families a roadmap for navigating that difficult conversation.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, older drivers are more likely than younger drivers to be involved in car accidents and are more likely to be seriously hurt. Despite this, most older drivers do not have a plan for when they can no longer drive, according to aging experts quoted in the report. The lack of planning is described as a critical gap that families should address.

The report forms part of a broader InvestigateTV+ series that also covers other issues affecting households, including defective plumbing in relatively new homes built by major builders and a personal injury lawyer's initiative to post motivational billboards around his town.
