A sample of drivers involved in 1970-71 fatal accidents was analyzed and compared to a sample of drivers from the general driving population during the same time period. The accident group analyses indicated moderate ability to identify fatal accident types that could be differentiated on the basis of the driver's prior characteristics. Specifically drivers who had been drinking prior to the accident, who were considered 'at fault' for the accident, or whose accident occurred at night were found to have worse prior driving records than other fatal accident-involved drivers. The results also indicated that, as a whole, drivers involved in fatal accidents evidenced worse violation and/or accident records, as well as different demographic and license characteristics than drivers in the general population.
