Abstract

It is pointed out that the highest blood alcohol concentrations are to be found amongst the younger drivers and that the injuries and economic consequences of road accidents are becoming more serious. It is then explained how public health authorities could prevent and control road accidents. First of all, adaptation of the environment are important and here it is possible to employ epidemiological techniques. The recent legislation with respect to drunken driving in the United Kingdom is briefly discussed. The introduction of the 0.8 p.m. level saved probably thousands of lives.
