InvestigateTV+ examines aging drivers and other consumer issues

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

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

As people age and their health changes, families can face difficult conversations about whether a loved one should stop driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports older drivers are more likely than younger drivers to be involved in car accidents and are 'more likely to be seriously hurt,' according to the agency. Most older drivers do not have a plan for when they can no longer drive, which aging experts say is critical.

InvestigateTV+ offers guidance for families navigating this difficult conversation. The investigation also covers other consumer issues, including homeowners outside Atlanta who blame one of the nation's biggest home builders for selling them houses with defective plumbing. Homeowners say the pipes began leaking about four years after they moved in.

The investigation also features an inspiring story about personal injury lawyer Sam Aguiar, who decided in December 2024 to go beyond the courtroom and put up motivational billboards around town. He has erected 60 billboards so far.
