[Alcohol-induced accidents within the scope of official statistics]. / Alkoholbedingte Unfälle im Spiegel der amtlichen Statistik.

ABSTRACT

Statement about accidents in traffic under alcohol influence published by Central Statistical Office in 1987, in great part in comparison to the years after 1975, is discussed critically. Indeed, the number of alcohol caused accidents and injured persons has clearly gone down in the course of these 13 years. But generally, the number now as before it is intoleratabely high. Following the necessary measures to improve the situation an intensive traffic control by police should be the first step.
