The study looked at why elderly drivers get into accidents by analyzing data from over 900 car crashes. They used a special tool called ACAS to collect information on the causes of accidents. The results showed that elderly drivers often have problems with seeing and reacting to things on the road, which can lead to accidents. This research helps us understand why older drivers might be more likely to get into accidents and can help improve road safety for everyone.
