Abstract

Compulsory blood estimation of the alcohol level (B.A.L.) in road crash casualties attending hospitals was introduced in Victoria in 1974. Male driver casualties with illegal B.A.L. outnumber female casualties 3 to 1. Blood tests have indicated the over-representation of young driver casualties and the (lays of the week and time of day where the percentage of driver casualties with an illegal B.A.L. is highest.
