Managing Older Driver Crash Risk

This chapter discusses older driver license review procedures in Australia and several other countries. Options available to driver licensing authorities for assessing and managing crash risk are explored and a model assessment program is described in the chapter. This model has been developed with the intention of providing community-based notification, a clear algorithm for assessment, and case management for ongoing reviews. Adoption of a holistic notification based assessment program is proposed as a cost effective way of ensuring older drivers remain on the road for as long as possible.
