N2  - This study involved a survey of self-regulatory driving practices of 656 drivers aged 55 years and older. Types and prevalence of self-regulatory behaviours were described and several key characteristics of self-regulators were identified. Those who drove less than 100 kilometres per week were more likely to be female, 75+ years, retired, with arthritis, good/fair/poor ratings for decision-making, not the principal driver and not married. Those who avoided specific driving situations were also more likely to be female, 75+ years and not the principal driver. Avoidance was also associated with vision problems, lower confidence in driving situations and crash-involvement. Implications for promotion of safe driving practices are discussed.
