Risky Elderly Drivers

In California, more than 2.5 million seniors carry driver's licenses -- and that number is expected to balloon in the coming years. Stubbornness, aggressive behavior and forgetfulness could be clues that an aging motorist may need to curb their driving, according to the Insurance Information Network of California. IINC is advising the insurance industry that identifying early warnings could save a life. In 2008, more than 4,600 seniors aged 70 years and up died in auto accidents and according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, motor vehicle crash deaths increase dramatically for drivers older than 70 years of age.
