Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate doses of alcohol on a number of driving skills involved in steering and car-following, and passing decision making. Forty drivers drove an instrumented vehicle on two-lane and limited-access highways either at night or in the daytime and either when sober or after having consumed alcohol to achieve a mean BAC of 0.085%. Seven tests were conducted and the results are presented and discussed.
