abstract="SummaryQuestionDoes an individualised education programme, promoting safe driving strategies, reduce the crash rate of visually impaired older drivers?Study designRandomised controlled trial.Main resultsCrash rate. There were no significant differences in the crash rate between groups at two years (education vs. usual care: number of collisions 53/227 vs. 38/176, RR of crash per 100 person years of driving: 1.08; 95% CI 0.71 to 1.64; per million person-miles of travel: RR, 1.40; 95% CI 0.92 to 2.12). Self-regulation. Education increased self-reported avoidance of challenging driving manoeuvres and self-regulatory behaviour compared with usual care (p>0.0001).Authors' conclusionsThis educational programme did not reduce vehicle collision rates or increase the safety of older, visually impaired drivers.<p />",
