29 c The accident rate generally decreases as the ages increase. The fatal accident rate decreases until the over 74 age category where there is an increase. As drivers age they become less likely to be involved in an accident. As a result the fatal accident rate also decreases except for the over 74 age group. Perhaps because of other health issues older drivers are more likely than other drivers to die as a result of the accident a Age Group Injury Rate (per 1 accidents) Fatal injury rate (per accident) 2 or less or more b Bar Chart.25 K.2 Rates K K I K I K I K I K I K I K I I I. 2 or less or more Age group c Older drivers who are in accidents are more likely to be injured or killed. d Exercise 2.62 addressed the issue of accident rates, where in this exercise we consider the severity of accidents. 33
