How many drivers 65 and older were there in 2007?

In 2006 (latest data available), there were 30 million licensed drivers age 65 and over, up 18 percent from 1996. By contrast, the total number of licensed drivers rose 13 percent. Older drivers (age 65 and over) made up 15 percent of all licensed drivers, compared with 14 percent in 1996.

In 2007 people 65 and older made up 14 percent of all traffic fatalities, 14 percent of vehicle occupant fatalities and 19 percent of pedestrian fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

In 2007, 79 percent of traffic fatalities involving older drivers happened during the day. Seventy-one percent involved another vehicle.

In two-vehicle fatal crashes involving an older driver and a younger driver in 2007, older drivers' vehicles were nearly twice as likely to be struck than younger drivers' vehicles (59 percent versus 33 percent).
