Alcohol use, driving records, crash culpability, and crash conviction rates for 165 injured motorcycle drivers (MTCDs) were studied. Of the 165 MTCDs, 53.3% tested positive for alcohol (BAC+). Culpability determinations (n = 150) revealed that 83% of BAC+ and 46% of BAC-MTCDs caused their crashes (p < 0.001). Driving records (n = 145) revealed the following prevalence of one or more convictions for BAC+ and BAC-MTCDs: impaired driving (29% vs. 7%, p < 0.001); speeding (74% vs. 58%, p < 0.05); and reckless driving (68% vs. 44%, p < 0.002). Of the surviving culpable impaired MCTDs (n = 48), 16.7% received crash-related convictions, 12.5% received alcohol-related convictions. The reasons for the low conviction rates are probably multifactorial.
对165名受伤的摩托车驾驶者(MTCD)的饮酒情况、驾驶记录、撞车罪责及撞车定罪率进行了研究。在这165名MTCD中,53.3%的酒精检测呈阳性(BAC+)。罪责判定结果(n = 150)显示,83%的BAC+驾驶者和46%的BAC-驾驶者导致了撞车事故(p < 0.001)。驾驶记录(n = 145)显示,BAC+和BAC-驾驶者有一项或多项定罪的发生率如下:酒驾(29%对7%,p < 0.001);超速(74%对58%,p < 0.05);以及鲁莽驾驶(68%对44%,p < 0.002)。在幸存的应受指责的酒驾MTCD(n = 48)中,16.7%因撞车相关罪行被定罪,12.5%因酒精相关罪行被定罪。定罪率低的原因可能是多方面的。
