It doesn t take much time on the road to find a bad driver.
Every age group has bad drivers, and they put everyone at risk of an accident.
The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles reports that 70 percent of accidents are the result of human error caused from driver inattention and failure to observe the rules of the road. Without a doubt, the highest risk group is teenagers. However, physical and medical conditions are the primary factors attributed to the second highest risk group drivers over age 75. As part of the aging process, drivers experience certain limitations that affect their reaction and judgement. In addition, persons with symptoms of depression, problems with memory recall, or a history of back pain pose a high risk of being involved in an auto accident.
