CounterAttack researchers in the Ministry of Attorney General's department studied the driving re- cords of over 9,000 B.C. motorists. In comparing the 1980 to 1984 records of those convicted of driv- ing while impaired with those not convicted, the researchers discovered some big differences. Motorists who had been con- victed of drunk driving in that period were almost twice as likely to have had other driving-related convictions. The study showed that about 80 per cent of drunk drivers committed other offenses on the road. Noticeably, the convictions were the result of Canadian Criminal Code violations, like dangerous driving, criminal negligence and leaving the scene of an accident. As a group, convicted drinking drivers were more likely to have been caught for speeding or runn- ing a red light than were non- drinking drivers. The study suggests that drinking drivers are also twice as likely to have had an accident and have higher incidents of licence suspen- sion as non-drinking drivers. It shows that about half of con- victed drinking drivers are between 20 and 30 years of age, and that men are five times more likely to drink and drive than are women, These facts leave traffic safety experts with two different views of the same problem. For some drivers, accidents have happened becuuse they consume alcohol and become impaired. For most, however, research in- dicates that accidents occurred because alcoholic impairment made these basically poor drivers even worse. Put another way, drinking can bring out the worst in any motorist. .. If you have had driving pro- blems while sober, consider what the research says before you risk driving while impaired. Drinking and driving could make you the most dangerous per- son on the road. FNM MAAMAASKAAAUH ASR AT AAA NARADA HT a Z w LADIES \\ SAMPLE SHOE q SALE “ y RETAIL 9 Name Brand, one of a kind footwear.
