The majority of older adults with cognitive impairment are still driving, despite concerns raised by caregivers and others, a Michigan Medicine study in a South Texas community finds.
Yeah, that number is kinda meaningless without the context of how many road kilometers/hours people over 70 are doing in comparison to the number of crashes
Yep. To the supermarket twice a week, and to church on Sunday, and that’s it. No commute, no mom-bus, no driving for work. Basically off the road for good, and still involved in 13% of all accidents.
also probably they drive less, as they’re likely to no longer be working for a living and so don’t commute?
