N2  - An experiment aimed at improving the medical care given to drivers who have been found to have excessive blood alcohol levels (over 1.4 g/l) by roadside checks has been set up in the Dpartement Val d'Oise.The aim is to ensure that these drivers receive medical attention at the earliest possible stage in the administrative and legal process in order to encourage some of them to receive treatment and help the judges decide what type of punishment is appropriate in each case. INRETS has assessed this experiment and come up with two sets of findings: the first relate to the development of criteria for describing the long term operation of the experiment on the period 1996-2000 (number of drivers counted at each stage of the process), and the others relate to an analysis of how judges have responded in terms of sentencing (based on in depth surveys of judicial records (1997-1998)).<p />
