Every year there are more and more old people in Japan. According to some estimates by 2040 the percentage of 65-aged people will increase to 30% there. We should not pay attention to some financial problems in Japan but it may entail real chaos on roads.
By Toyota information half of all traffic accidents happen because of elderly drivers and 50 percent of traffic accidents caused by absence of proper attention to these people.
