With the aging of Japan's population, the percentage of older drivers
in the total number of license holders is increasing. The number of older
people involved in road accidents is also on the increase. This report will
compare traffic casualties between older drivers and the others and examine
whether it is valid to say that the aged are more prone to sustain serious
injuries than the others when the impact levels are equivalent.
(*"Older" drivers or people in this report are defined as those
aged 65 and over unless otherwise specified.)
