When younger (65-74 years) and older (75 years or more) elderly persons were compared, it was observed that older individuals were more likely to suffer serious injury. Severe injuries due to the absence of seat belts were also more frequent in the elderly. The proper application of the use of safety restrictions plays an important role in reducing injuries among the elderly in these accidents. |

Elderly persons performed significantly worse on the visual acuity test. Older participants significantly overestimated their walking speed, but they needed more time to complete the crossing. Older pedestrians have more difficulty analyzing the movement of an approaching car when it is still far away, increasing risky decisions and decreasing performance at the intersection. |
