Abstract

Carbon monoxide in concentration above 15% in the blood appears only rarely to be a factor in highway crashes. However, carbon monoxide in lower concentrations, and cigarette smoking which can produce such concentrations, have been hypothesized as important hazards to safe driving. The entire excess was attributable to the fact that heavy smokers are also heavy drinkers, and often are problem drinkers.
