Abstract

Alcohol has long been thought to cause increased risk taking and more reckless behaviour in drivers. This paper discusses simulator and full-scale driving tests used to determine the validity of these beliefs. This paper discusses the experimental methods, and their appropriateness to this type of research. The results are presented and discussed. Finally the implication of the results on traffic safety are discussed.
