Abstract

The results obtained from a study of 6725 "drunken driving" cases from a four month period 1976 indicate a growing tendency of medicine consumption in connection with driving (13) in 1965, 23 (in I976). Sedatives, analgesics and stimulants which are considered to be dangerous in road traffic, appear most frequently. The results from the study suggest a cause-effect relationship between the influence of medicine and road traffic accidents or near accident situations. Conclusions concerning the following problems-general characteristics of drivers taking medicines are discussed.
