Older drivers practice safe driving habits

Contrary to common stereotypes, AAA says elderly drivers actually practice some of the safer driving habits compared to their younger counterparts.

For starters, AAA says 90 percent of seniors use a seatbelt when driving.

Also, AAA says more than a third of seniors take a driver improvement course.

The CDC says the death rate is higher for senior drivers, but it says that has more to do with physical fraility than it does with a tendency to get into accidents.
