abstract="This study examines the effectiveness of a license renewal program for elderly drivers, based on vision and medical evaluations, in terms of its direct outcomes. The license renewal process of a complete cohort of Israeli drivers aged 65 and up, whose license renewal date fell during 1980 was followed up. It was found that following a protracted and costly renewal process, practically all licenses were revalidated. New driving restrictions were common, mostly related to the use of eyeglasses during driving; however, these restrictions were found to have little practical significance. The findings lead to questioning the policy of targeting the renewal tests for a subgroup of drivers that accounts for a small percentage of the driver population and an even smaller fraction of the accidents.<p />",
