      <title>THE EFFECTS OF BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVELS ON DRIVING SIMULATOR, COORDINATION, AND REACTION TIME TESTS IN A HIGH RISK POPULATION: OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE MEASURES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/367547</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study employed high risk drivers (college fraternity students) to investigate the following questions:  1) Is legal intoxication recognizable by such individuals?  2) Would legally intoxicated individuals choose to drive?  3) What component(s) of driving performance is/are impaired at raised blood alcohol levels (BALs)?  4) What specific driving skill(s) is/are impaired? and 5) Are there things one can do to help accurately detect legal intoxication and potential driving impairments?  To assess perception of legal intoxication and willingness to drive, three different groups of subjects were evaluated: Legally Intoxicated (>=.10% BAL), Elevated BAL (.04-.09% BAL), and Placebo (<.04% BAL).  Additionally, the specific driving impairments associated with BALS of 0.08% or higher were analyzed.  Finally, the abilities of different coordination and reaction time tests were evaluated to determine if such tests were able to differentiate between BALS >= 0.08% and BALs <0.04%.  All tests were evaluated objectively and subjectively. To summarize results, subjects were accurate at recognizing legal intoxication, but a third of the legally intoxicated subjects were still willing to drive.  When BAL was >= 0.08%, individuals objectively performed more poorly on various parameters of the driving simulation, coordination, and reaction time tests.  At these same BALs, subjects rated all of these tests to be more difficult, and their performance to be less accurate and more impaired.  Experience on the simulator did not influence subjects/ willingness to drive.]]></description>
