EU project on driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol and medicine - VTI – Sveriges ledande transportforskningsinstitut Genvägar Research Publications Sök på VTI.se: Transguide What we do Vacancies Values Management Staff News Archive About the web site Startsida / About VTI / News Archive / EU project o... EU project on driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol and medicine The EU project DRUID (Driving under the Influence of Drugs, Alciohol and Medicine) unites 21 European countries to combat driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol and medicine. The number of accidents that can be coupled to psychoactive substances – alcohol, drugs and certain medicines – remains at a high level. It is accidents involving drugs and medicines which have increased most in recent years. "DRUID is an important project since it adopts a holistic approach to the problem of alcohol and drugs in traffic. In the project we will study the incidence of various substances, their effects and their relationships with risk. A study will also be made of the background to the problem and the way police methods can be improved and medical care and education made more effective. If we want to produce solutions to combat this development, we must create a better understanding of the problem", says Magnus Hjälmdahl at VTI. More than 40,000 people were killed on European roads in 2000, and 1.7 million were injured in 15 member countries. The goal of EU is to cut traffic fatalities by 50% by 2010. To achieve this goal, the work on alcohol, drugs and medicines is very important. Important resource in DRUID VTI’s cooperation in the project comprises both experimental studies using the driving simulator, and field studies in which the incidence of drugs and medicines on the roads will be kept under observation. VTI is also engaged in a subproject which is to study why people drive while under the influence. In the experimental studies with the driving simulator a number of behavioural studies will be made. Driving behaviour while under the influence of drugs will be studied, with the emphasis on the simultaneous effect of several substances. At VTI, the effect of the combination of drugs and fatigue will be studied. The intention is that DRUID will describe the extent and nature of the problem. The actual situation is not known at present since police checks are often made when a high incidence of drugs and alcohol is suspected. In DRUID the actual incidence will also be compared with the accident situation so that a measure of the risk may be obtained. The project will also study how police surveillance can be designed for maximum effectiveness, and also how driver training, information campaigns and rehabilitation can be formulated so that the problem may be prevented right from the beginning. National and international collaboration The project engages 38 partners from 21 European countries, with representatives from e.g. r&d institutes, universities and the police. VTI is taking part as the only Swedish partner. In view of the complexity of the project, experts from many areas will be needed, and VTI will cooperate with both the National Board of Forensic Medicine in Linköping and the National Police Board. The project DRUID comes under the thematic priority ”Sustainable Surface Transport” of the framework programme. DRUID is an Integrated Project in Application Procedure FP6-2004-TREN-3, December 2004. The project is due to start in January 2006, and most of VTI’s work will be carried out in 2006/2007.

Miami DUI

Live DUI Care Crash Dramatization Sends Message to Teenagers Date: May 17, 2000 Live DUI Car Crash Dramatization Sends Message to Teenagers Miami Beach -- Dont drink and drive. That is the message that City of Miami Beach Fire Department is sending to Miami Beach High School students, especially now during prom and graduation season. Thousands of teenagers have died due to car crashes because somebody chose to drink and drive. Last year, there were three DUI-related accidents involving Miami Beach High School students. On Thursday, May 25 at 10:00 a.m. , Miami Beach Fire Rescue, the Police Department, and Miami Beach High School students will be participating in"Cheat the Reaper - Live to See Your Future," a teen anti-DUI presentation which includes a simulated prom scene and car crash, at Miami Beach High Schools playing field, 2231 Prairie Avenue. The dramatized Drinking Under the Influence (DUI) - caused car crash, with all of the blood, sirens, and emergency personnel of a real-life DUI accident, will demonstrate the dangers of teens impaired by drugs or alcohol. This mock car crash will be shown to approximately 500 senior students live at the school's playing field, days before their senior prom. By educating the students to make the correct choice and the results of the wrong choices, the City's fire officials are attempting to reduce the number of teenagers injured -- or killed -- in DUI-caused crashes. "There is a saying Goodjudgment comes from experience, but experience comes from bad judgment. The goal is to substitute an educational experience in place of an actual experience, so students can use it as their reference for goodjudgment when peer pressure forces them to make difficult choices," said Miami Beach Public Fire and Life Safety Educator David Mogen. Traffic crashes are the greatest single cause of death for every age from five through 27 years old. Almost half of these crashes are alcohol-related. In 1997, 6,258 people, age 15-20, were killed in traffic crashes and 2,209 of these deaths - more than 35 percent - involved alcohol. Young people are over-represented in alcohol-related fatal crashes. The alcohol involvement fatal crash rate for young drivers is about twice that of drivers over 21. In 1998, statistics reveal that 16,189 people were killed in crashes involving alcohol in the United States -- an average of one every 32 minutes. These deaths constituted approximately 38.6 percent of the total 41,967 traffic fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "Cheat the Reaper" uses drama students and Students Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) members as victims and witnesses. Emergency services and officials involved in the mock crash are moulage, incident commander, triage officer, transportation officer, medical examiner, law enforcement officers, media, ambulance personnel, fire suppression, safety officer, extrication officer, and public information officer. During the simulated car crash, there will be vehicle extrication and victim stabilization. A DUI-related mock trial was taped in the Dade County Courtroom of Judge Beth Bloom. The students will watch the taped trial via television in the classroom after the crash scene. The Miami Beach Fire Department thanks the following sponsors: Miami Heart Institute, Judge Beth Bloom, Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner's Office, Beach Towing Service, Tremont Towing, Vista Convention Services South, Miami Childrens Hospital, Riverside-Gordon Memorial Funeral Services, Miami-Dade County Parks & Recreation Department and Miami Beach High School. This program is part of the City of Miami Beach Fire Department's Preventive Education Program.

field sobriety testing. This

Missouri DWI Sobriety Field Tests Field Sobriety Tests To confirm the suspicion that a driver is under the influence of alcohol, a police officer will typically request that the driver submit to field sobriety testing. This request will usually be delivered more like a command, but a person may refuse to submit to field sobriety testing. Field sobriety tests are "psycho physical" tests - "Psycho" as in mental, and "physical" as in coordination. The officer is looking to see whether a person can understand and remember instructions while performing feats of gymnastics. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has approved and validated three field sobriety tests: The Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test: This is a test where the officer holds a pen or similar object in front of the subject's eyes to determine whether she can follow it. The officer is also supposed to look for a "jerking" of the eye when the pen is held at a 45 degree angle. If this jerking is present it is supposed to indicate an alcohol concentration of over .10. While many police officers feel that this is the most reliable field test they have in their arsenal, it is not allowed in court unless the prosecutor has an expert witness to testify to its scientific validity. Thus, it is almost never introduced in court. The One Leg Stand Test: This test requires that the subject stand on one leg with his hands down at his sides and count to 30. The officer will look for swaying, raising the hands for balance and the ability to count properly, among other things. This test is difficult for most people to do absent any alcohol whatsoever, and is especially difficult if a person has bad knees or ankles, a bad back, inner ear disorder, or any other physical limitation. The Walk and Turn Test: This test is also called the heel-to-toe test and usually requires that a person walk nine steps heel-to-toe in a straight line, turn around, and walk nine steps back. The officer will look to see whether the subject stumbles, sways, uses his arms for balance, takes too many or too few steps, and how he executes the turn. Again, this test is hard for most people sober or not, and especially when taken on the side of a road with flashing police lights and traffic whizzing by. All of the NHTSA approved tests must be administered exactly as prescribed in the NHTSA Manual or their validity is compromised. Police officers usually have several other field sobriety tests that they administer, although they have not been scientifically proven to be reliable. These include the finger-to-nose test, requiring people to say the alphabet or count backward and forward, and touching their fingers together with their eyes closed. Our law firm has specific ways of dealing with each of these tests and usually files motions to limit their admissibility in the event of a trial. It is extremely important that you inform your attorney of any physical and/or mental injuries, disabilities, or illnesses that you may have. Bad knees, ankles, hips or backs may explain away a lack of balance or coordination on field sobriety tests. People with learning disabilities like Attention Deficit Disorder may have trouble understanding and following an officer's instructions. Allergies, inner ear disorders and sinus problems may also cause imbalance. This is the type of information upon which a successful defense is based. Another test frequently used by law enforcement officers is the Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) . This is a little machine that officers carry in their cars. Usually right before the officer makes a DUI arrest, he will have the driver blow into the PBT machine. The PBT will alert an officer as to whether there is alcohol on the driver's breath, and some machines will indicate whether a person is over the limit or not. Police officers are supposed to wait fifteen minutes before administering this test but rarely do. This machine is not very unreliable and is vulnerable to many legal challenges. If the officer finds that a driver did not perform these tests to his satisfaction, the driver will be arrested for DWI. At that point the driver is often handcuffed, searched for weapons and/or contraband, and placed in the officer's car for transportation to the police station for booking and a blood or breath test. The officer will also search the driver's vehicle for evidence of alcohol and/or drugs. Throughout this entire episode, from the point of initial contact until the driver is released, the officer will note the person's attitude and behavior. Combativeness and belligerence are considered signs of intoxication. It always pays to be courteous and polite to a police officer, especially in borderline cases.

DUI Insurance

DUI Convictions and Insurance HOME : DUI CONVICTIONS AND INSURANCE STOP the MADNESS Take Action Against Drunken Driving Coin-Operated Alcohol Breath Testers The Machine itself: It talks. It saves lives. It makes money. The Best Alcohol Testing Locations Make Money from Alcohol Breath Testing More Information about this Opportunity DUI Convictions and Insurance Every state has different laws regarding DUI convictions and every insurance company has different policies to try to help you dig yourself out of conviction-related incidents. If you get a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) conviction, your insurance rate will undoubtedly go up. Maybe the premiums will even double! This is the result of the Zero-Tolerance laws that went into effect in 1995. The only states that do not have these laws are South Carolina and Massachusetts, but they are considering them. Depending upon your past driving record and the insurance company that you use, you may not have a choice about what happens to your insurance coverage. Some policies are written as conservative risk insurance that will automatically cancel you once you have been convicted and they find out about it. Some insurance companies will cancel your current automobile coverage policy once you have been convicted, and will then offer you SR-22 insurance, which is much higher; but it’s about all you can get under this circumstance. It must be maintained for 3 years and then, if you have no more convictions, you may resume "normal" insurance. Some companies do not even offer SR-22 insurance, so they will simply cancel you and you must find a completely different company that is willing to work with you. SR-22 insurance means that your insurance company must notify the state where your license is issued if you have any lapses in insurance coverage. This notice can lead to total revocation of your license until you obtain coverage again. Still other companies are not allowed to cancel you mid-term even with a conviction due to local laws. Find out what your state does and discuss this issue with your insurance company before it happens to you so that you can be prepared for all possibilities. In most states, your insuring company will check for DUI convictions every three years as part of their normal operating procedure. Even if they miss the conviction initially, they have up to three years to cancel and/or raise your premiums! Even if no traffic accident occurs, finding new insurance can be the biggest cost you face when convicted of drunk driving.
