Show Notes
New data shows a drop in fatalities on the road - with older drivers at higher risk for deadly crashes for the first time.
A new analysis by Road Safety Education Limited reveals that deadly accidents among younger drivers have halved over the past 25 years.
Road Safety Education's Maria Lovelock says as drivers get older, their cognitive abilities and eyesight decline, putting them at risk.
"But also, your ability to survive a crash is not as great either. Your body isn't as able to bounce back at the same speed when you're in a crash."
