Answer to Question 6:
Q: Isn't it true that motorists age 55 and older have fewer accidents when compared with younger drivers?
A: While research shows that drivers age 55 and older are 25% of the driving population but have only 18% of accidents, drivers age 55 and older generally drive fewer miles each year than younger drivers. Therefore, when annual miles driven is considered, drivers age 55 and older do better than younger drivers, but not as well as drivers age 35-54.
