The objective of the project was to obtain empirical data on the joint influence of slightly excessive speed and low-to-moderate blood-alcohol concentration upon accident-involvement as a function of age and driving experience, and to determine if the combination of speeding and drinking is a significant problem in highway crashes, particularly for young or inexperienced drivers. The objectives were addressed by obtaining and analyzing a sample of 7,354 drivers involved in accidents in North Carolina during 1974.
