Abstract
The Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety - Queensland (CARRS-Q) was commissioned by Queensland Transport to develop a set of integrated learning materials that would assist older drivers in better managing their day-to-day driving. The project resulted from a review of current driver management procedures employed in Queensland, and was to form part of a complete Driver Safety and Education Strategy (Watson et al., 1996). The aims of this project were to: (a) help older drivers become more aware of their driving limitations and the age-related driving problems they may experience; and (b) promote ways in which older drivers can moderate their driving as a result of these age-related changes. Ultimately, the resource should encourage older drivers to both self-monitor their driving ability and to make informed decisions about how best to continue driving in the safest possible way.
