Tampa, FL – While senior drivers favor tougher
driving laws, from bans on wireless devices to ignition interlocks for
first-time DUI offenders, an overwhelming majority support greater
scrutiny in the license-renewal process for themselves and their peers,
according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety’s latest report on
aging Americans.
More than seven out of 10 drivers age 65 and older favor policies
that require drivers age 75 and older to renew their license in person,
and also support requirements that seniors pass a medical screening to
remain licensed.
