| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, characteristics of Risk Taking Behaviors (RTB) taken by older drivers were examined, and methods to prevent these RTB were proposed. It was found that older drivers usually perceived physical and/or mental pressure caused by surrounding vehicles, and that they were likely to take RTB to escape from the pressure. Driving school instructors were informed of these findings and they made group discussion for preventing RTB. Some methods to give advice or guidance for older drivers were proposed trough the discussion.
