“…Introduced and applied by this research team to the evaluation of alcohol-related traffic laws (Tippetts et al, 2005; Voas et al, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007), the CIR can be defined as the ratio of the percentage of drivers showing some trait of interest (e.g., females) among all drivers in a specific subgroup (e.g., in a certain year) compared to the percentage who do not have the trait of interest (i.e., male drivers) in the same subgroup (year). Voas et al (2007) showed that, when compared against a certain benchmark (i.e., the year 1982), the CIR becomes identical to the quasi-induced exposure technique known as the relative accident involvement ratio (RAIR) (Aldridge et al, 1999; Stamatiadis and Deacon, 1995; Stamatiadis et al, 1999).…”

“…If all states were to adopt the 0.05 illegal BAC limit, and it was enforced, an estimated 500–800 lives could be saved each year in the United States . When the BAC limit was lowered in states in the United States from 0.10 to 0.08, numerous studies showed that it reduced impaired‐driving fatal crashes .…”

“…Several studies, including a NHTSA‐sponsored study in Illinois , have looked at the impact of lowering the BAC limit from 0.10 to 0.08 on enforcement efforts and the criminal justice system. These studies have not found any significant problems for the police or for the court systems in adjusting to a lower limit.…”

“…Voas et al (2000) evaluate the implementation of BAC 08 in 1997 in Illinois. None of Illinois’ bordering states had passed a BAC 08 law by 1997, so these were thought to be good controls.…”
