The results obtained from a study of 6725 "drunken driving" cases from a four month period 1976 indicate a growing tendency of medicine consumption in connection with driving (13 % in 1965, 23 % in 1976).Sedatives, analgesics and stimulants which are considered to be dangerous in road traffic appear most frequently. The results from the study suggest a cause-effect relationship between the influence of medicine and road traffic accidents or near accident situations.
