A federally funded project in Maryland studies drivers to identify and even predict who might be dangerous on the road.
"Using sophisticated new screening tests for older drivers, researchers in Maryland are learning it is possible to identify dangerous drivers more accurately, and even to predict who will develop problems in the future. The federally funded project, which is being watched nationally, is the most comprehensive study ever of older drivers. Its findings are considered doubly important because the first baby boomers will soon begin turning 65, eventually making up 25 percent of all motorists. Yet one of the biggest questions remains unanswered: At what age do motorists begin to lose their driving skills?"
