Summary
Drunkenness and/or hypoglycaemia are frequent possible causes of unusual behavior. The aim of this study was to demonstrate two contradictory reviews of experts for retrospective assessment of driver´s condition in the course of a car crash where the driver denied the alcohol blood test. One expert, having seen the police and medical reports, concluded the driver was influenced by alcohol. The argument of the other expert, based on his own investigation including selfmonitoring and a model experiment, resulted in the conclusion that the driver was probably influenced by hypoglycaemia. The question arises, whether the persons involved (drivers, police, physicians and others) could be able to improve the consequences of the accident.
