The purpose of the study was to map alcohol problems in relation to blood alcohol concentration in a large representative sample of male and female Swedish drivers suspected of drunk driving. Twenty-one hundred suspected DUI offenders (drivers suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol) were assessed with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Information from the police regarding BAC, age, gender, and place and lime of the stop was also collected. More than half (58%) of the suspected DUJ offenders had alcohol problems, and among these 24% had high levels of alcohol problems. Of specific interest was the observation that almost half (46%) of the suspects with a BAC below the Swedish legal limit of 0.02% had alcohol problems, a prevalence that did not increase u...
BOSTON, April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The coming months will be filled with celebration as millions of teenagers mark prom and graduation as the end of a school year or even their high school careers and launch into the more relaxed summer months. Unfortunately, some combine their freedom and carefree attitude with reckless actions making prom, graduation, and the Fourth of July among the most dangerous times of the year for teenage driving. According to U.S. Census data there are 13 million driving-aged teenagers and, with 23 percent of teens admitting to driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana or other drugs, as many as 3 million impaired teen drivers may be taking to the roads during the upcoming months, according to a new survey from Liberty Mutual Insurance and SADD (Stu...

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine that you are out on a date and have a casual glass of wine with dinner. As you get into your car, you face the humiliation and embarrassment of having to blow into a tube connected to your car's ignition system just to get the car started. The subsequent explanation can't be anything that remotely resembles a pleasant conversation you wish to have on a date. Welcome to the relatively new world of breathalyzers or ignition interlock devices (IID's) installed in certain vehicles, which have been mandated by some local California courts to ensure that DUI offenders are sober before they drive. Some law makers and government officials are hoping that this program, an alternative to harsher DMV and court mandated punishments, would serve as ...

Moving at a stately 30 miles an hour, the woman drove her tank- like vehicle right through the stop sign and almost through me as I crossed the street. Like the psychiatrist assigning mental illness at the mere sound of crazy shouting, I didn't have to look at the motorist. I just knew from her behavior that she was yakking on a cellphone. Sure enough, she was. Many of us who play pedestrian - even if only in parking lots - have dodged motorists blankly staring out the windshield as they jabber on the phone. Between now and the ringing-in of 2012, countless families will have suffered tragedy at the hands of these distracted drivers. And nothing will have been done about their dangerous practice, given the strong political and societal forces amassing in its defense.
A new study suggests that drivers should worry about being picked up for driving under the influence - of a cold. A study from a British car insurance company and a university in Wales found that operating a car with a cold is the equivalent to driving after consuming four double whiskies.
