Abstract

The observed relaxation of driver license renewal policies was correlated with higher crash and injury rates among drivers aged 75 and older in urban areas. Restrictive license renewal policies that rely on age and time cut points should be weighed carefully against possible negative effects from premature license removal. Movement toward a performance-based licensing system and away from arbitrary age and time cut points may more effectively keep unfit drivers off the road, while retaining those who remain fit to drive.
