Associations of Repeated High Alcohol Abuse with Unsafe Driving Behaviors, Traffic Offences, and Traffic Crashes among Young Drivers: Findings from the New Zealand Drivers Study.

CONCLUSIONS: We found that high alcohol use was common among young newly licensed drivers and those who repeatedly reported high alcohol use were at a significantly higher risk of unsafe driving behaviours. Recently introduced zero BAC should help to address this problem, but other strategies are required to target persistent offenders. PMID: 27574719 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
