A 2025 Wisconsin crash involving an 85-year-old driver killing a 12-year-old has sparked calls for mandatory medical and driving tests for older drivers, though experts say age alone isn't a reliable safety indicator.
A fatal 2025 crash in Green Lake, Wisconsin, where 85-year-old Jean Woolley struck and killed 12-year-old Emmet Zodrow after confusing the brake and gas pedals, has intensified debate over aging drivers.
The incident has prompted Emmet’s family to push Wisconsin to require medical and driving assessments for license renewals, currently every eight years without such checks.
While some advocate for stricter rules for older drivers, experts note crash rates among drivers aged 70 to 79 have declined due to self-restriction, better vehicle safety, and healthier aging.
With no national standard, states set their own policies, and researchers stress that age alone is not a reliable risk indicator, urging individualized assessments over blanket age-based restrictions to balance safety and mobility.
