COMBATING ALCOHOL ABUSE IN TRAFFIC IN YUGOSLAVIA

ALKOHOLBEKAEMPFUNG IM STRASSENVERKEHR IN JUGOSLAWIEN

THE YUGOSLAV REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN TRAFFIC ARE CONTAINED IN THE 1974 LAW WHICH STATES THAT COMPLETE SOBRIETY ON THE ROAD IS DEMANDED OF PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS; FOR ALL OTHER DRIVERS, INCLUDING CYCLISTS, THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION TOLERATED IS FIXED AT 0,5 PROMILLE. WHILE THESE REGULATIONS ARE VALID FOR ALL YUGOSLAVIA, THEIR APPLICATION, INCLUDING THE SPECIFICATIONS COVERING THE METHOD OF TAKING BLOOD SAMPLES, MEDICAL EXAMINATION, AND ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES ETC, IS GOVERNED BY THE INDIVIDUAL REPUBLICS, WHICH VARY TO A GREATER OR LESSER EXTENT. AMONGST THE PROBLEMS FOR THE FUTURE ARE THE PRODUCTION OF METHODS FOR RECOGNITION AND ANALYTICAL CHECKING OF DRUGS AND PSYCHO-ACTIVE MEDICINES, AND THE EVALUATION OF THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE DRIVER. ANOTHER REQUIREMENT IS THE SETTING UP OF SHORT INTENSIVE COURSES ON FORENSIC MEDICAL ALCOHOL QUESTIONS FOR JUDGES, OFFICIALS AND DOCTORS WITHOUT FORENSIC MEDICAL TRAINING.
