This paper compares the biographical, personality and religious factors thought to be related to nonfatal traffic violations and accidents of a nondrinking group (Seventh Day Adventists-SDA) and its matched neighbour group. The study was performed to determine the appropriateness of comparing traffic accident rates of the non-drinking SDA population with that of matched population, which necessitated the determination of how different these group were with respect to factors other than their consumption of alcohol.
