More than 20 drivers aged 100 are still on Kiwi roads as ageing population prompts plea for caution

Age Concern Auckland chief executive Kevin Lamb encourages the elderly to take Staying Safe road refresher courses.
However, crash numbers for 2020 and 2021 are provisional due to a lag in data being entered into the Crash Analysis System, an agency spokesman said.
Meanwhile, young drivers pose the highest risk of being involved in a smash, according NZTA data detailing crashes reported to police.
In 2019, drivers aged 16-24 were involved in 71 fatal crashes, 612 serious injury collisions and 3,058 minor injury smashes.
The number of elderly drivers is set to surge with a quarter of the country’s population on track to be aged 65 years and over by 2030.

Lonely Christmas ahead for many elderly kiwis - Age Concern

Age Concern Auckland fears many elderly people are in for a lonely Christmas this year.
The charity, which provides dedicated services and support for older people, says 20 per cent of older Aucklanders experience loneliness. With 189,000 people aged 65+ in Auckland, that equates to 37,800 people.
Chief Executive Kevin Lamb says "The effect of loneliness and isolation on wellbeing is severe. The detrimental impact in the elderly equates to the impact of a lifetime of heavy smoking, alcoholism, and obesity. With an ageing population, this is an issue that will only increase. We’re especially concerned this year when so many older people have had their social opportunities severely limited. Christmas makes being alone that much harder."
