Evaluation of the effectiveness of three different interventions on older driver safety over a 12-month period: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

The growing population of older drivers presents challenges for road safety attributed to age-related declines and increased crash fatality rates. However, enabling older people to maintain their health and independence through continued safe driving is important. This study focuses on the urgent need for cost-effective interventions that reduce crash risk while supporting older drivers to remain driving safely for longer. Our study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of three behavioural interventions for older driver safety. These include an online road-rules refresher workshop, tailored feedback on driving performance and two tailored driving lessons.
