abstract="Before the year 2000 the number of elderly drivers (65 years and older) in the Federal Republic of Germany will probably double. Concerns about traffic safety predominate-under the broadly accepted assumption that the elderly drive less cautiously. The most important results of driving tests of elderly drivers (and a comparison group of middle-aged) and their relation to performance measures are presented. The results show that the elderly drivers performed worse in laboratory tests, but in driving tests (in a significant number of different traffic situations) they did not differ unfavourably from the middle-aged drivers.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
