Driver fatalities and DUI offenders in New Jersey
1New Jersey Department of Health, Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, Trenton 08625-0362.
Abstract:
Comparisons of driving and demographic characteristics were made on 407 driver fatalities (DFs) and 407 motorists convicted of driving under the influence (DUI). Significantly more DUI offenders (DOs) than DFs were men and had previous DUIs, accidents, license suspensions, and weekend "index" events. DFs with a blood or brain alcohol concentration (BAC) of 100 or above mg/dL matched most closely with DOs on negative driving events, "index" event days, and demographics. Conversely, DFs with negative BACs differed significantly with DOs on virtually all characteristics. High-BAC DFs and DOs may well be drawn from the same subpopulation of deviant drivers, whereas DFs with negative BACs seem similar to licensed drivers in general.
