Abstract

Since 1972, a research team at the Semmelweis University in Budapest has been studying the influence of alcohol and various medicaments on driving. This paper presents a brief account of their experiences in the examination of 1200 persons. Three main topics were covered: (1) statistical data were obtained about survivors and those killed in traffic accidents; (2) drug and alcohol interaction experiments were carried out under real traffic conditions and in a Simens Traffic Simulator; and, (3) individual tolerance tests at various blood alcohol concentrations.
