IMPAIRED DRIVING AND ALCOHOLISM: PERSONALITY OR PHARMACOLOGIC EFFECT

THE CRASH RATES OF DRIVERS WITH ALCOHOLISM ARE DISCUSSED. THE EXTENT TO WHICH PERSONALITY AND PHARMACOLOGIC EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL CONTRIBUTE TO CRASHES IS EXAMINED. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT UNUSUAL PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS ASSOCIATED WITH ALCOHOLISM APPEAR TO BE OF ONLY MINOR IMPORTANCE WHEN DRIVERS ARE SOBER. DR WALLER DOES NOT AGREE THAT ALCOHOLICS HAVE MORE ACCIDENTS EVEN WHEN SOBER. /HSL/
