SAFER-senior: a situation awareness and escape route identification skills intervention improving the road safety of senior drivers

With the ageing of the global population, the overrepresentation of older drivers in road crash statistics has never been more important. A pilot of SAFER-Senior, a revision of SAFER which is accelerates the acquisition of situation awareness skills in young drivers – also overrepresesntated in road crash statistics across the globe – is underway on the Sunshine Coast. An analysis of data collected pre- and post-SAFER-Senior reveals that SAFER-Senior builds situation awareness skills in older drivers.
