With more older drivers on the road than ever before, experts were concerned there would be more accidents. But the truth ended up being much different. Older drivers are actually some of the safer drivers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 “With aging boomers, we were worried that crashes and fatalities would increase, but we didn’t see that happen,” says Aimee Cox, research associate at the nonprofit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

I own a 2006 Hyundai Elantra, so NO Safety Features.

I am okay with this as I NO longer drive alot since retiring in 2020.  💃💃💃

And to DECREASE my chances of being run over [I do the Speed Limit], I try to do all my driving during the week when folks are working.  👍

Thanks,

You should have air bags in your Elantra.

@Tempest332 yes you are correct. Now to hope they NEVER pop out. I hear so much about the INJURIES they can cause.

The same with SEATBELTS.

Sometimes they SAVE lives - for example keeping you from flying out the car when you have an accident.

Or PREVENT you from escaping - they can get damaged or stuck.

But I ALWAYS wear mine = lol, those tickets!!!
