The Western world is facing a growing proportion of older drivers on our roads as the population ages and, with, it a likely increase in crashes involving seniors. This paper sets out to review what we know about older drivers and what is still unclear and in need of future knowledge and intervention. Issues related to crash epidemiology, licensing, medical fitness-to-drive, the role of new safety technology, and life after the car are briefly reviewed with the aim of identifying key areas for future research and action. A list of priority topics is included to help address this burgeoning safety area.
随着人口老龄化，西方世界道路上老年驾驶员的比例日益增加，与此相关的是涉及老年人的撞车事故可能会增多。本文旨在回顾我们对老年驾驶员的了解情况，以及仍不清楚且需要未来进一步了解和干预的方面。文章简要回顾了与撞车事故流行病学、驾照发放、驾驶医学适宜性、新安全技术的作用以及无车生活相关的问题，目的是确定未来研究和行动的关键领域。文中还列出了一系列优先主题，以帮助应对这一迅速发展的安全领域。
