Profile of drunken drivers and marijuana findings in traffic deaths
A New York Times summary reports a typical drunken driver as 25 to 35, educated with a high school diploma, driving an old car and preferring beer. The study, from Albuquerque, Baltimore, Boston and Oklahoma City, links single status, late night weekends, and single-vehicle crashes to fatal accidents, and notes over ten percent have invalid licenses. It cites a Boston study where 16 percent of drivers in 267 deaths admitted marijuana use and 45 percent were marijuana smokers, with overrepresentation in fatal crashes where a survivor was involved. Baltimore findings found drugs rarely causative. A full Boston University report on marijuana and other drugs is forthcoming.
