Abstract

 

Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the leading causes of traffic accidents. The degree of alcohol intoxication has variously impact on the ability of driving a motor vehicle. The aim of this paper is representation of distribution of alcohol intoxication by the degree of intoxication from the year 2013. - 2016. , considering that the driving under the influence of alcohol is the main cause of traffic accidents on the territory of Belgrade. Statistical analysis of data indicates that the majority of traffic accidents arose when the driver drove a motor vehicle with level of alcohol concentration in the blood between 0.3 and 3 ‰. Besides, the number of drivers who had permitted concentration of alcohol in the blood is approximately five times lower in regard to those who had non-permitted concentration of alcohol in the blood. By tightening of The Law on Road Traffic Safety and by introduction of other safety measures one can affect the decline in the number of traffic accidents caused by drunken drivers.

 

 

 

Key words:

blood alcohol concentration, traffic accident

 

 

Sažetak

 

Upravljanje vozilom u stanju alkoholisanosti je jedan od vodećih uzroka saobraćajnih nesreća. Stepen alkoholisanosti u različitoj meri utiče na sposobnost upravljanja motornim vozilom. Cilj ovog rada je prikazivanje distribucije alkohemija po stepenu alkoholisanosti u periodu od 2013. do 2016. godine, s obzirom na to da je vožnja pod uticajem alkohola najčešći uzork saobraćajnih nesreća na teritoriji grada Beograda. Statističkom obradom podataka dobijeni su rezultati koji ukazuju na to da je najveći broj saobraćajnih nesreća nastao kada su vozači upravljali motornim vozilom sa koncentracijama alkohola u krvi između 0,3 i 3‰. Pored toga, broj učesnika u saobraćajnim nesrećama koji su imali dozvoljenje koncentracije alkohola u krvi je približno pet puta manji u odnosu na broj onih koji su imali nedozvoljenje koncetracije alkohola u krvi. Pooštravanjem Zakona o bezbednosti saobraćaja na putevima i uvođenjem drugih bezbedonosnih mera može se uticati na smanjenje saobraćajnih nesreća uzrokovanih vožnjom pod dejstvom alkohola.

 

 

Ključne reči:

vožnja pod dejstvom alkohola, koncentracija alkohola u krvi, saobraćajne nezgode
