Abstract

Distinction between relative or absolute unfitness to drive is considered a confusing and unjustified attitude. Limits between fitness and unfitness should not be set at a level where all drivers become unfit but at lower levels where drinking drivers already become impaired in their responses to traffic. Driving ability is reduced at blood alcohol levels exceeding 60 to 70 mg/100 ml. Legal positions must be made clearer to drivers by creating statutory driving offences based on the 80 mg% law.
