According to AAA, adults 65 and over are twice as likely to be in an accident than someone middle aged. From CDC.gov "In 2008, more than 5,500 older adults were killed and more than 183,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes. This amounts to 15 older adults killed and 500 injured in crashes on average every day." Their reaction timing and cognitive brain function begins to slow starting on average between a persons 60th and 70th birthday. There have been 3+ cars driving into buildings in Cleveland, Ohio alone this past month because of Senior citizens mistaking the brake for the gas. This issue needs to be resolved for the safety of the elderly and the people of America.
