estimated the number of senor citizens will grow to 20 percent, and if the numbers stay consistent, motor vehicle accidents from the elderly will become an awfully significant problem. On the other hand, Rodger Cobb along with the A.A.R.P., has another theory. The A.A.R.P. stands for the American Association of Retired Persons and they stand for the concept that many of the elderly are active members in society. The A.A.R.P. believe that the senior citizens of the United States have worked hard and paid their dues, they now benefit only in living their "golden years" with ease. The act of driving is an option for most Americans and is the ideal method of travel. Cobb explains that society views our aged citizens as guilty regardless of the individual situations. These preconceived notions may hinder solutions to the statistics Crane mentions. The impression of an older motorist is met with aggravation, assuming the elder will try other drivers' patience. The inconsiderate conviction placed with seniors behind the wheel describes a person with declining physical skills and one who is susceptible to errors of judgment and can become baffled simply. This is not always the case though, and the A.A.R.P. fights against this stereotype.
             Furthermore, Cobbs and Crane meet together again when it comes to the fact that older drivers use their cars far less then any other age group. How they use this information is what separates them. Since younger drivers are more frequently on the road it explains the fact they have more crash involvement rates. Cobbs goes on to explain how the elderly is in the lowest magnitude of crash contributions. However, Crane would be eager to add that the crash rate for actual miles driven for people over 75 is almost four times that of other drivers. (Teenagers rank second in this category.). Further, the statistics show an abrupt acceleration of accidents with age. There is a small increase in the...
