Abstract

This paper reports the results of chemico-toxicological analyses carried out on biological fluids of car drivers involved in road crashes and suspected to be under influence of psychoactive substances. The sample population is composed of 269 car drivers, who were accompanied by police patrols to the Emergency Department of Padova General Hospital during the period January 1996 - March 2002. Results were compared with data collected in a survey carried out on car drivers in the Veneto region during weekend nights.
