Drivers involved in fatal and serious injury highway crashes were compared with drivers: using the same roads at similar times, but without crash involvement; with recent drunken driving arrests; with arrests for other serious traffic violations; and with no crashes or citations in prior 5 years. Variables studied included presence of alcohol, drinking patterns, driving patterns, and social problems. A discriminant function analysis correctly classified 95% of clear-record drivers and 87% of drunken drivers using four significant variables: lifetime citations, occupational level, beer frequency, and liquor quantity. Three types of induced-intoxication experiments were conducted to study influences of alcohol upon driving-related behavior: small-group studies, laboratory experiments, and a closed-course pilot study using an instrumented car.
