Abstract
An attempt was made to determine whether or not: a) alcoholic drivers are responsible for significantly more traffic accident and moving violations than non- alcoholics, b) accidents and violations incurred by alcoholic drivers are significantly related to drinking; c) the alcoholic's psychopathology is significantly related to traffic accidents. Alcoholic drivers tested were "responsible" for twice as many accidents and traffic violations as the same number of non-alcoholic drivers and the significant excess of these largely happened after the persons tested had been drinking. The influence of personality problems is also discussed.
