Older Driver Safety Awareness Week

This week is Older Driver Safety Awareness Week. Between 2010 and 2019, the U.S. population of people 65 and older increased by 34%, and in 2019 the number of people 65 and older killed in traffic crashes made up 20% of all traffic fatalities. During Older Driver Safety Awareness Week (December 6–10, 2021), we remind you that simply getting older doesn’t mean it’s time to hang up your keys, but you should evaluate how you — or loved ones — drive. For more information on this topic, and other important driving safety information, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/older-drivers/keeping-our-older-drivers-safe-road
