The corresponding frequency among the general driving population is much lower.' The authors provide substantial confirmation of the previously noted variations by sex of driver and by time of day and day of week in the extent of alcohol involvement in road accident casualties. They also document the particularly hazardous combination of alcohol and inexperience in driving. | | Journal Title | Medical Journal of Australia | | Journal Volume (Issue) | 1(13) | | Page Range | 596-597 | | Page Count | 2 | | Notes | available from CASR library on request |
