Abstract

Older drivers tend to overestimate their driving ability. This overestimation makes it difficult for them to drive safely. We considered why older drivers formed their overestimation and proposed a safety education method to correct it. The proposed method includes simulated experiences of collisions and near-miss events and reflection on their driving at the events. The proposed method was found effective for older drivers to correct their overestimation based on a participant experiment. However, compared to non-older drivers, the older drivers corrected their overestimation less. To investigate the reasons for this result, we analysed the method’s effectiveness on older drivers. Analysis results suggest that the optimistic interpretation of their own driving discourages older drivers from correcting their overestimation.
