Statistics show that older drivers have fewer accidents than any other age group. But this is misleading. When actual hours on the road are taken into consideration, older drivers have the second highest accident rate, second only to teenage drivers. In addition, they are more often injured when involved in an accident. But turning in the car keys represents such a loss of independence that many seniors continue drive.
