Abstract
The comparison of different age groups both with respect to the number of traffic accident victims and in relation to the risk of causing an accident is the prerequisite for adifferentiated assessment of persons likely to be a threat and the risk. For this purpose, selected accident statistics were analyzed and evaluated in the context of general population developments. It turns out that the accident risk for older drivers over 75years of age is not exceptionally high; however, the risk of dying in aroad traffic accident is more pronounced for the group of over 75-year-olds. The result varies depending on the means of transport. The findings are intended to stimulate further discussion and give indications for areas of action to increase road safety, especially for older road users.
