Abstract:Drinking and driving have been researched extensively, and the association between a driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and crash risk is well understood. On the other hand, the effects of BAC on motorcycle operation are not well understood and the lack of data on the incidence of alcohol involvement in the on-road motorcycle-riding population doesn’t permit adequate crash risk assessment. To address this problem, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sponsored a research study to investigate alternative methodological approaches for determining: 1) the relative risk of alcohol-impaired motorcycle riders being involved in a crash, and 2) rider impairment at different BAC levels.
