Young drivers worry about big hangovers
More than 52 per cent of young Australians are worried that they are still over the legal limit the morning after a big drinking session.
Statistics gathered by AAMI as part of the 2006 Young Drivers Index have shown that 52 per cent of young drivers (aged between 18 and 24) will drink so heavily that they worry about being over the legal limit the next morning.
This compares with less than one-third (31%) of other drivers who had concerns about still being over .05 and driving the morning after.
The research showed despite this, young drivers are less likely than others to drive when over .05 (38% of young people versus 43% of other drivers).
The AAMI research shows that young drivers are more cautious than older drivers when it comes to drink-driving and they are less likely to have driven when over established legal limits.
