Understanding bias in older drivers’ self-reported driving styles using naturalistic driving data

Key Points

• The research aims to examine the reliability of self-reported driving styles in older drivers using naturalistic data.
• Analyzed naturalistic driving data collected from older drivers.
• Evaluated self-reported driving performance against actual driving behaviors.
• Identified anxious driving style scores correlating with self-assessment accuracy.
• Older drivers often overestimate their driving performance based on self-reports.
• Anxious driving style scores were effective in highlighting discrepancies in self-assessments.
• Findings suggest tailored interventions could improve road safety among older drivers.
