Driving under the influence of alcohol, or drink-driving, is a key risk factor for 27% of all road injuries. Thus, drink-driving is a significant public health problem that affects not only the alcohol user but also, in many cases, innocent parties such as passengers and pedestrians.

1 cze 2024 · Results: The literature indicates that different Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) levels affect driving skills essential for traffic safety at various information processing stages, such as delayed reacting time, impaired cognitive abilities, and hindered execution of driving tasks.
17 sty 2018 · A strong body of global evidence confirms that alcohol consumption is a risk factor for road traffic injuries and deaths (Aguilera et al., 2015; Bachani et al., 2013; Gururaj, 2004; Peden et al., 2004; WHO, 2013).
17 sty 2018 · In this chapter, data on alcohol-impaired driving are discussed in depth, as well as the impacts and costs of crashes, injuries, and fatalities. The current alcohol and driving landscapes are discussed as the backdrop for alcohol-impaired driving.
18 lut 2023 · This may mean that drink drivers are at significantly higher risk of crashing, not only because they could be more likely to engage in other risky driving behaviours (e.g., speeding, mobile phone use and fatigued driving), but also because they have a reduced ability to drive.
This study hypothesizes and maps causal feedback mechanisms influencing alcohol-impaired driving among adolescents and young adults in the U.S. through two GMB sessions with subject-matter experts and extensive review of the literature.
The current study investigated the effects of alcohol on driving performance, psychomotor functioning, and confidence in driving ability. Breath analysis prior to the simulated driving task revealed average BACs of 0.04% and 0.07% for the low and high conditions, respectively.
