Abstract
Study Aims
1. To survey a large group of drivers aged 60 and over to understand current driving habits, driver training, self-regulation in avoiding difficult driving conditions, driver confidence and ability, and to gather their views on giving up driving.
2. To examine attitudes to a range of potential methods to increase the safety of older drivers such as optical and medical assessments, driving assessments and more flexible driver licensing. To gather opinions on novel interventions such as a self-testing kit for fitness to drive.
3. For current drivers, to examine whether they have considered stopping driving, and identify circumstances which may influence their decision to give up driving.
For ex-drivers, to identify their reasons for giving up driving and influences on that decision.
4. To provide an insight into the type of projects, campaigns and policies that would be most effective among older road users.
