“…At a blood alcohol concentration of 0.3‰ the risk is 7 times greater, between 1 -1.49‰ the risk is 31 times greater, and over 1.5‰ -120 times greater. Several studies have led to the conclusion that at blood alcohol concentration levels above 1.0‰, drivers should be declared unfit to drive [35,36,37]. In Poland, the permissible level of ethanol in the blood of a driver is 0.2‰.…”

“…Road Traffic Law forbids anyone from driving a vehicle while intoxicated, under the influence of alcohol or any similarly acting substance [38]. When the blood alcohol content is at or nears a concentration of 0.2‰ -0.5‰ (or presence of 0.1 mg -0.25 mg of alcohol/1 dm3 in exhaled air), this is considered to be a state after alcohol consumption [37]. When the blood alcohol level is at or nears a blood alcohol level above 0.5‰ (i.e.…”

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ethyl alcohol occupies the third place among health risks for the general population, causing damage to health as well as social damage. Ethanol is also considered the greatest risk factor in injuries. Both alcohol and its main metabolite, acetaldehyde, are directly toxic to tissues and lead to several systemic pathologies. Alcohol abuse may also lead to mental health disorders. Although one-in-eight adult Poles abstains from drinking alkohol, 10-20% of adult Poles drink alcohol regularly. It is estimated that this group includes about 900,000 addicts, and over 2,000,000 people who drink alcohol at a risky or harmful level. It affects their occurrence and their consequences Drinkdriving is one of the problems most often raised, although alcohol is a documented risk factor in pedestrian accidents. It is also an important risk factor for suicidal behaviour with people under the influence of alcohol choosing more radical and effective methods of committing suicide, such as hanging or 'throwing themselves under a moving vehicle.' Only properly selected and consistently taken preventive actions can improve the tragic statistics related to ethanol stimulating risky and auto-aggressive behaviours. It is also necessary to improve the system for reporting such events because only reliable statistics enable proper assessment of the scale of the problem, and the effectiveness of these activities.

“…During the data extraction process, 11 additional studies were excluded due to MVC or culpability data being unavailable for older adults. Data extraction was completed for seven studies [ 29 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ], all of which were observational in design. Reference list scanning did not result in the inclusion of additional studies.…”

Risk of Motor Vehicle Collisions and Culpability among Older Drivers Using Cannabis: A Meta-Analysis

et al. 2023

Limited studies have investigated the effects of cannabis use on driving among older adults, who represent the fastest growing segment of drivers globally. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) exposure on risks of (1) motor vehicle collisions (MVC) and (2) culpability for MVCs among adults 50 years and older. Three reviewers screened 7022 studies identified through MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and PsycINFO. Odds Ratios (OR) were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel method in Review Manager 5.4.1. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute tool was used to assess the quality of each study. Seven cross-sectional studies were included. Three studies evaluated culpability while four evaluated MVC. The pooled risk of MVC was not significantly different between THC-positive and THC-negative older drivers (OR, 95% CI 1.15 [0.40, 3.31]; I2 = 72%). In culpability studies, THC exposure was not significantly associated with an increased risk of being culpable for MVC among adults over the age of 50 (OR, 95% CI 1.24 [0.95, 1.61]; I2 = 0%). Inspection of funnel plots did not indicate publication bias. Our review found that THC exposure was not associated with MVC involvement nor with culpability for MVCs.

“…Jørgenrud et al, [16] conducted a study which has a goal to prove the association between speeding and use of alcohol and medicinal and illegal drugs and involvement in road traffic crashes among motor vehicle drivers. In a Norwegian roadside survey conducted in collaboration with the police, drivers of cars, vans, motorcycles and mopeds were stopped during the period from April 2016 to April 2017.…”

Due to road traffic accidents, 6941 Filipinos died in 2010, and thousands more were wounded or disabled. Head and neck injuries are the main cause of death, severe injury, and motorcycle users ' disabilities. Motorcycle users make up a large proportion of those on the road who were killed. The study’s main purpose is to develop an MCU Based Motorcycle System for Optimum Road Safety with Anti-theft Capability that will help motorcycle riders to be safe while travelling in national roads. The researchers will be using the prototyping methodology where in a prototype is built according to the initial requirements gathered from the motorists themselves. The expected result of the proposed methodology is the system will be utilizing the different function of each modules to ensure that the riders will be able to detect and avoid possible danger while on the road. As a result of different literature in relation to each module, the system is expected to provide a new leap to ensure the safety of all riders here in the Philippines. Future studies will ensure the development of the system, provide testing and improve the system’s functionality depending on the test result. Due to the high increase in the number of cars and motorcycle travelling on national road, the percentage of accidents also is getting higher. In line with that, the proposed system is expected to lessen the percentage of accident by avoiding the possible cause of it.
