TEEN AND SENIOR DRIVERS

This report updates information on teen and senior drivers published in earlier California Department of Motor Vehicles' reports. The information is meant to assist highway safety administrators in making program and policy decisions affecting teen and senior drivers and may also be of use to the insurance industry, traffic safety researchers, and the general public. The report also summarizes research on risk-taking and alcohol consumption among teen drivers and on the increase of impairment of driving-related abilities among senior drivers. Countermeasures for teen and senior drivers are also discussed.
