Drinking and Driving in Germany: Behavioural Patterns and Influencing Factors—a temporal and cross-cultur al comparison
نویسنده
چکیده
A comparison of the time series of alcohol-related accidents and of those not caused by drinking and driving, reveals a much greater decrease in alcoholrelated accidents than would have been expected based on the usual method of consideration: compared to 1980, alcohol-related accidents in the old federal states (i.e. in west Germany) decreased by 33 % in 1990, whereas the accidents not involving alcohol dropped by only 7 %. A corresponding clear difference was also found in the number of fatalities.
