Resources help

older drivers

Older drivers, their friends and families are advised Pennsylvania has several resources available to help keep drivers of all ages safe.

Approximately 19 percent of Pennsylvania's 8.9 million licensed drivers are 65 and older.

In 2012, there were more than 18,000 crashes involving a driver 65 and older, resulting in 276 fatalities.

An added benefit to taking approved driver-improvement courses is reduced insurance costs.

According to the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, state law requires insurance companies to provide at least a 5-percent premium discount when policyholders 55 or older successfully complete an approved driver-improvement course.

If an older driver's friends or family are concerned the driver may not have the capacity to safely operate a vehicle any longer, a list of warning signs, safety tips and a "Talking with Older Drivers" publication is available at JustDrivePA.com.
