Products Racial and Ethnic Group Comparisons - National Survey of Drinking and Driving ( Report) This report uses data from previous NHTSA surveys on drinking and driving attitudes and behaviors and analyzes the data for several ethnic groups. 8.5" x 11", three color, 71 pages.
Racial and Ethnic Group Comparisons - National Survey of Driving and Driving Attitudes and Behaviors This report provides the methodology for a study to determine differences in impaired driving attitudes and behaviors among diverse groups of people nationwide. A survey was conducted of 10,453 people of White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian, or Eskimo descent, to assess the self-reported prevalence of driving within two hours of drinking alcohol. Respondent's attitudes on enforcement, prevention, legal limits, and crash and injury experience were also determined. This report describes the methods used to conduct interviews and analyze the data. It also includes a copy of the most recent questionnaire administered to survey respondents. Three color, 8.5" x 11", 55 pages.
Reasons for Driver License Suspension, Recidivism, and Crash Involvement Among Drivers
Recommendations for the Safe Transportation of Children in Ground Ambulances The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation initiated a project in September 2008 titled “Solutions to Safely Transport Children in Emergency Vehicles.” The major objectives of this project were to: 1. Build consensus in the development of a uniform set of recommendations to safely and appropriately transport children (injured, ill, or uninjured) from the scene of a crash or other incident in an ambulance; 2. To foster the creation of best practice recommendations after reviewing the practices currently being used to transport children in ambulances; and 3. To provide consistent national recommendations that will be embraced by local, State and national emergency medical services organizations, enabling them to reduce the frequency of emergency transport of ill, injured or uninjured children who may be transported in an unsafe or inappropriate manner. To achieve these major objectives, a working group was formed; the working group was comprised of members with experience, background, and extensive knowledge in the current practices of the emergency transportation of children in ground ambulances. The expert members of the working group were drawn from those organizations and entities involved in the health care of children and the emergency transportation of children and others in ground ambulances. It should be noted that throughout the remainder of this document, references to ambulances are limited to ground ambulances, unless otherwise stated. Also, based upon the deliberations of the working group, it was decided to use the terms “child” or “children” versus “youth” to the extent practical throughout the remainder of this document, to represent all children, starting at birth.
Reducing Impaired-Driving Recidivism Using Advanced Vehicle-Based Alcohol Detection Systems (Report) This report to the Congress presents the findings of a study examining the vehicle-based alcohol detection systems to reduce the incidence of alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes and fatalities. It provides a thorough review of the different technologies that are in use or have been proposed for measuring the presence of alcohol in drivers.
Reducing the Potential for Heat Stroke to Children in Parked Motor Vehicles: The primary objective of the study was to evaluate products that are designed to prevent children up to 24 months old from being left behind in closed, parked vehicles – a scenario that can result in heat stroke. This preliminary assessment was the first of its kind to evaluate this kind of product. The efficacy of heat stroke prevention technologies in sensing the presence of a child in a child restraint and alerting the caregiver if he or she walks away from the car without removing the child was evaluated. The study also examined the effects of child posture and the time/child movement associated with a typical commute on the efficacy of these devices.
Refusal of Intoxication Testing: A Report to Congress This Report to Congress describes missing BAC information for both drivers arrested for impaired driving and drivers involved in fatal or serious injury crashes. Various laws governing impaired driving and the role of BAC test information under those laws are reviewed including an overview of the DWI arrest process. The results of several recent studies on the breath test refusals include breath test refusal rates in 2005 and a comparison to rates in 2001 and 1987; the effect of refusals on prosecution and adjudication of DWI cases; and a description of a promising strategy to decrease refusals via search warrants for blood draws. The report concludes with recommendations that would decrease BAC test refusals.
Relative Frequency of Unsafe Driving Acts in Serious Traffic Crashes(The Summary Technical Report) This study was conducted to determine the specific driver behaviors and unsafe driving acts (UDAs) that lead to crashes, and the situational driver and vehicle characteristics associated with these behaviors. This study confirms other research showing driver inattention, driver impairment, unsafe vehicle speeds, and driver fatigue are important factors in serious crashes. It also provides a unique insight into driver information failures and unsafe driving acts that lead to crashes under certain conditions. Three color, 8.5" x 11", 28 pages.
Relative Risk of Fatal Crash Involvement by BAC. Age and Gender (Report) This study examines relative risk of fatal crash involvement by combining crash data with exposure data from the 1996 National Roadside Survey. The relative risk of involvement in a fatal passenger vehicle-crash increased steadily with increasing driver BAC in every age and sex group. 8.5" x 11", black and white, 31 pages.
Research Shows Most Women Aren't Attracted to Dead Guys This poster features an attractive blond astride a motorcycle and makes the point that alcohol and motorcycles don't mix. One color, 8.5" x 11".
Resource Guide on Laws Related to Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety (CD-ROM) This CD-ROM contains a comprehensive description of vehicle and traffic laws that were judged by the guide's developers to have the potential to affect pedestrian or bicycle safety, either positively or negatively. With this guide, users can find laws that enhance pedestrian or bicycle safety and assess a state's position in relation to other states or "best practices" in this field. Users also can learn how prevailing vehicle and traffic laws could have an impact on the number of pedestrian or bicycle crashes with motor vehicles.

Risk-Taking Behavior and Traffic Safety Symposium Proceedings (Report) This book presents the results of a symposium held in Chatham, Massachusetts, on October 19-22, 1997, as a need to address risk-taking behavior by drivers as potentially the most cost effective way of bringing about further improvements in traffic safety. Over 80 traffic safety policymakers, researchers, and practioners attended, and presented their views, learned from others, and discussed the issues and potential solutions at great length. This book contains the papers and discussions presented at the symposium. Hardcover, two color, 8.5" x 11", 275 pages.
Robustness of the Horizontal Gaze Test (Report) These series of studies examined the effect of procedural variations in administration of the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test of the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST). In the first experiment, stimulus speed, elevation and distance were varied from the participants' faces. In the second experiment, participants received the HGN test in a standing, seated or lying position. The third experiment investigated the occurrence of HGN signs in people with monocular vision. The overall results reveal that the HGN test is valid in both standard and varied testing procedures.
