Impaired driving. Report No. 1: characteristics of drinking drivers = Conduite avec facultés affaiblies. Rapport No. 1: caractéristiques des conducteurs en état d'ébriété.

For answering the questions: who is the drinking driver, how do various groups of drinking drivers differ, why is knowledge about drinking drivers relevant to planned and on-going action programs, and how can needed information be generated in the process of taking actions to reduce the alcohol-crash problem, a study was made with the two-fold aim: to present information of general value in developing policy and programs; and to identify issues concerning sentencing options for persons convicted of alcohol related driving offences.
