From these studies the following conclusions may be made: 1: the hazard of accident for motor car operators increases with increase of blood alcohol concentrations. 2: the ration of drivers with high responsibility for accidents to the total number of drivers increases with the increase in blood alcohol. 3: There is good experimental evidence that impairment in driving ability, as measured by increase in accidents, begins at a blood concentration of alcohol below 0.05 %. 4: The breath analysis method has numerous advantages over blood sampling and suffices for estimating blood alcohol in motor car drivers involved in accidents. 5. Our statistics show that approximately 10 % of motor car accidents in the City of Toronto are attributable to the drinking driver.
