Samenvatting
The paper focuses on four issues. First, it describes the nature of alcohol-related data available in South Australia. Secondly, the actual distribution of blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) is presented separately for two samples of drivers and motorcycle riders: those injured and subsequently admitted to hospital and those killed. Thirdly, the methodology and results of a case-control study on the crash risk associated with drink-driving are discussed. Finally, the major recent legislative drink-driving initiative in South Australia, random breath testing (RBT), is described and the results of its evaluation are presented. (A)
