Fewer car crash deaths among elderly Floridians since mandated vision screening tests.
Since the instillation of mandatory vision screening laws the death rate reduced by 17 percent among drivers over 80. The study performed by the University of Alabama-Birmingham compared death to drivers in Florida to neighboring states Alabama and Georgia which don’t require vision tests for Florida drivers. The neighboring states showed no decrease in death rates among their elderly drivers.&nbs p; It seems that a screening law might remove visually impaired drivers from the road.
