Abstract

Alcohol use, driving records, crash culpability, and crash conviction rates for 165 injured motorcycle drivers (MTCDs) were studied. Of the 165 MTCDs, 53.3% tested positive for alcohol (BAC+). Culpability determinations (N=150) revealed that 83% of BAC+ and 46% of BAC- MTCDs caused their crashes (p<0.001). The data suggest that legal sanctions against injured BAC+MTCDs are inadequate.
