   ANOTHER ADVANTAGE OF THE CT SCAN IS THAT IT'S EVEN CHEAPER THAN THE TRADITIONAL SCAN. A NEW STUDY SAYS DRIVERS OVER 65 ARE 25 PERCENT MORE LIKELY TO GET INTO AUTO ACCIDENTS THAN MIDDLEAGED MOTORISTS AND THE NUMBERS GET WORSE AS THEY GET OLDER. THE STUDY BY TRIPLEA'S FOUNDATION FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY FINDS THATPEOPLE AGE 85 AND UP ARE NEARLY FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY THAN MIDDLEAGED DRIVERS TO BE KILLED IF THEY GET INTO A CRASH. THE STUDY FINDS THAT AS DRIVERS AGE, THEY SUFFER MORE AND MORE FROM DECREASED PERCEPTION AND MOTOR SKILLS. BUT THE STUDY ALSO SAYS THAT DRIVERS IN THEIR LATE 50S AND EARLY 60S ARE AMONG THE SAFEST ON THE ROADS. THAT'S A LOOK AT HEALTH WATCH FOR TONIGHT, DION, BACK TO YOU.
