Performance components predictive of errors resulting in motor vehicle crashes in older drivers.

Numerous skills and abilities are necessary in the operation of an automobile. Many of these skills and abilities deteriorate with age. These deteriorations, coupled with the increased incidence of motor vehicle crashes in terms of number of miles driven for older drivers, makes it imperative to explore the relationship between these factors. A review of the literature was utilized to present the performance components of older drivers that may contribute to motor vehicle crashes. Vision and attention appear to play a major role, particularly in the types of accidents that occur most frequently to this population - intersection accidents. This article consolidates the existing literature from several disciplines. This is especially needed for occupational therapy practitioners, with their growing involvement in the assessment and rehabilitation of driving skills.
