Almost 2/3 of the pedestrians were male, and males had a higher rate per 10,000 pop. of admission to hospital than female pedestrians. Overall, 38% of the pedestrians with known BACs had been drinking, 29% had a BAC of .100g/100ml or above, and 13% had a BAC of .200 or above. Three high risk groups were identified: teenaged sober pedestrians, elderly sober pedestrians, and young and middle-aged pedestrians, particularly males who had high BACs. | | Report Number | MR2 | | Publisher | Federal Office of Road Safety, Transport and Communiations | | Publisher City | Canberra | | Sponsor | Federal Office of Road Safety (FORS) | | Page Range | 22 | | Page Count | 22 | | Notes | http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/safety/publications/1989/pdf/mr_02.pdf |
