Özet
As it is known, alcohol is a substance which makes difficult for a human being to think and behave rationally and which impairs the ability of giving quick decisions and applying the given decisions. The abilities which are especially important while driving may sometimes lead to irreversible bad results. For this reason, the maximum acceptable blood alcohol concentration (BAC) amounts a driver may possess while driving have been determined by all different countries. However, these legal restrictions are only meaningful if the examination is performed immediately and if BAC is determined correctly. The error rate of the results is proportional to the time of the examination. We tried to state the importance of the reduced BAC amount due to time loss in 18 persons who were examined because of traffic accidents in order to show the dimensions of the problem and to propose solutions. 6 of these 18 persons had higher BAC at the time of the accident although they had lower than 50 mg% BAC at the time of the examination. All the persons in the group were brought for the examination approximately 73.05, 6 persons with high BAC 90.8, and 12 persons with low BAC 64.2 minutes after the events. Most of the accidents that our group were involved in took place between 16.00-24.00 hours. It is obvious that this problem we have dealt with in Edirne is greater in big cities. Education, effective inspection, dissuading punishment, alcohol examination by the authorities who came to the place of the accident first and broader studies will help to state the problem with all its perspectives and to find solutions.
