Abstract		Presented are some indicators for the presence of alcohol, drugs and medications in traffic participants, along with the data of the Police on the number, causes and the originators of traffic accidents in the period from 1978 to 1989, the data on the offences against the law due to the driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs and medications, and the data from the archives of the Institute for Forensic Medicine on alcoholimetric analyses of blood and urine in the period from 1978 to 1989 in traffic offenders. Presented are also the results of epidemiologic studies on the frequency of drug and medications use in traffic offenders, and especially in female traffic participants. As regards alcohol and psychoactive substance use, there are some differences with regard to sex and age of traffic participants. Among all psychoactive substance, alcohol use is most frequent and highly surpasses the use of any group of medications. For the traffic, the combination of alcohol and psychoactive substances use if far more dangerous than psychoactive drugs themselves. The important preventive role of physicians, prescribing any medications to active traffic participants, has to be stressed.
