One hundred psychiatric patients were carefully matched with 100 physically ill patients and their driving records compared. The psychiatric patients were consuming far greater quantities of psychotropic drugs and included a larger number of alcoholics and heavy drinkers. During the six months before admission there were no significant differences between the two groups of patients with respect to accident and traffic code infringements. Apart from individual patients, drugs did not appear to be influencing the outcome in statistical terms. Alcoholics and heavy drinkers showed an increased lifetime accident liability. No specific psychiatric diagnosis was otherwise associated with increased accident rates. The majority of accidents reported were relatively trivial.
100名精神科患者与100名身体疾病患者进行了仔细匹配，并比较了他们的驾驶记录。精神科患者服用的精神药物数量要多得多，且酗酒者和大量饮酒者的人数更多。入院前六个月，两组患者在事故和交通法规违规方面没有显著差异。除个别患者外，从统计学角度来看，药物似乎并未影响结果。酗酒者和大量饮酒者终身事故责任增加。没有其他特定的精神科诊断与事故率增加相关。报告的大多数事故相对轻微。
