Are
senior drivers considered high risk? Not according to the state of Ohio which
lists high risk drivers as those who have a poor driving record and those who
are uninsurable for 30 days (Kasich, 2011). Senior drivers are historically good drivers who
take responsibility for their health and well-being and drive safely. For example,
senior drivers seek exercise classes and therapy for sensory losses and limited range of motion
issues, and they talk to their doctors and pharmacy about driving and their prescription
drug usage. According to Governor Kasich
(2011) most insurance companies offer discounts to seniors if they meet this
criteria:
Be between the ages of 60 & 70
and pass an accident prevention course
• Provide the insurance company
with a certificate proving you have passed the course
• Have a satisfactory driving
record for the previous three years
