Samenvatting
Experimental evidence shows that the risk of road accidents increases as the blood alcohol level of the driver exceeds 50 mg/ml. In this study, 50% of the drivers killed had blood alcohol levels above 100 mg/ml. Many drivers, particularly those under 25 years of age, had such high blood alcohol levels that it would appear they problem drinkers. In this series, 94% of killed drivers were not wearing seat belts.
