Are seniors more dangerous on the road? History of a false debate

DECRYPTION – An octogenarian overthrew, Thursday April 6, three children in the Oise. A tragedy that goes against the figures, which show that our seniors are more often victims than responsible for accidents.

Thursday April 6 in Pont-Sainte-Maxence (Oise), an 82-year-old driver knocked down three children as they crossed a pedestrian crossing.

If their lives are not in danger, the motorist explains that he did not notice the victims.

This failure could be related to his advanced age.

Is this a false debate or are our elders really to be avoided on the roads?

Decryption, figures in support.
