Samenvatting
In conjunction with the National Safety Council, NHTSA developed this informative, easy-to-understand handbook on .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC). It presents information for use by safety advocates at the local level to encourage passage of .08 laws in their legislatures. It includes an overview of the impaired driving problem, a description of the .08 law, the rationale behind .08, the effect of various BACs on crash risk, myths about .08, consumer education and public support, law enforcement aspects, and a summary of the effects of the law in terms of crash reductions.
