I wonder how many older people use drugs or alcohol to get high, compared with other age groups.

I wonder if road rage is age related. Does anyone know?

I found this study, looking for a recent one;
Over 100 Car Accident Statistics for 2019 | U.S. and Global
Excellent question, and I will add how many older seniors do not take ANY drugs/medications - I expect none? And how many of those prescriptions (and non-prescriptions) can result in impaired ability to drive or impaired ability to make a sound judgement as to ones own ability to drive!
