* Note: The 1989 Coding and Validation Manual incorporates
the identification of additions, deletions, and changes
from the 1988 Version. This is done by using a
character on the left-hand margin of the text. A "+"
indicates an addition, a "\" indicates a deletion, and a
"|" indicates that a change occurs. In places where
more than one type of modification occurs, an addition
supercedes a deletion which supercedes a change.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Submissions (How and When)
How to submit
1988 Data
Enter data directly from coded FARS forms, using
procedures described in the FARS MICROCOMPUTER
DATA ENTRY MANUAL.
1989 Data
Enter data directly from coded FARS forms (Exhibit 100-A),
using procedures described in the FARS Microcomputer Data
Entry Manual (MDE Manual).
When to submit
Make submissions at anytime during the week via the Microcomputer.
Data Sources
.1 Use the ANSI D16.1-1983 Manual on Classification of Motor
Vehicle Traffic Accident (Fourth Edition) for definitions in
coding the FARS forms.
.2 Obtain information from death certificates for persons who die as a
result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
.3 Use the State Driver Licensing Files, Vehicle Registration
Files, Highway Department Files, Accident Reports, and
Vital Statistics Reports.
.4 See the FARS MDE manual for instructions on obtaining data and
responding to requests for data on vehicles and drivers not
registered or licensed in your state.
.5 The message system should be used to obtain data on involved
Out-Of-State drivers and vehicles.
.6 The VIN Processing Procedures were modified in 1988. The
significant change resulted in "bad" VIN's being automatically
transmitt. This made the preformatted VIN message contained in the
FARS Message System nearly obsolete (See Exhibit 100-B ). We
continue to include. See the message system manual.

General Instructions
.1 Codes
.11 All codes are numeric except TRAFFICWAY IDENTIFIER.
ADDITIONAL STATE INFORMATION, RAIL GRADE CROSSING
IDENTIFIER, and VIN.
.12 All codes are on the form except: FIRST HARMFUL EVENT,
TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE, RAIL GRADE CROSSING IDENTIFIER,
RELATED FACTORS (all levels), VEHICLE MAKE, VEHICLE MODEL,
BODY TYPE, VEHICLE MANEUVER and MOST HARMFUL EVENT. See
the appropriate data element pages for these codes.
.13 Code for 'Unknown' is always nine. 'Unknown' should only
be used when all sources for obtaining information on an
element have been searched and the information is missing
or stated unknown.
.14 The code for 'Not Applicable' or its equivalent is always
zero.
.15 The code for 'None' is always zero except for Alcohol Test
Result.
.2 Coding Forms
.21 Blanks are used only in fields to be later updated with
three exceptions:
.211 If DRIVER PRESENCE is coded 2 or 9 all other driver
information except RELATED FACTORS-DRIVER LEVEL must be
blank.
.212 If VIN is less than seventeen characters, do not zero
fill, leave remaining characters blank. If a State is not
allowed to code the entire VIN, code the partial VIN and zero-
fill the characters that cannot be completed.
.213 If TRAFFICWAY IDENTIFIER is less than ten characters, do
not zero fill or 9 fill. Leave remaining characters blank.
.22 All codes are right justified except VIN and TRAFFICWAY
IDENTIFIER.
.3 Vehicle Driver and Person Level Forms. These forms are
automatically numbered by the system.
.31 Vehicles are numbered consecutively beginning with 01.
.32 For each vehicle, persons are numbered consecutively
beginning with 01. Order is not important. The driver
does not have to be 01.
.33 The vehicle number for nonmotorists is 00.
.34 Nonmotorists are numbered consecutively beginning with
01. Order is not important.
.4 Miscellaneous
.41 The number of changes per case is not limited.
.42 Request of other States for information should always
follow the format of the MDE systems Out-Of-State Data
Request whether the MDE System itself or the mail is used.
.43 Refer all coding questions through the FARS CODING ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM.
.44 Copies of all cases or other actions submitted must
be retained for 3 years after the data collection year.
.45 If a State will not allow transmittal of complete VIN,
send a memorandum to the RCOTR informing him of this fact.
.5 Special Case - Coding Fatal Traffic Accidents for which
there is only a death certificate.
.51 Be sure the death occurred within thirty (30) days of the
accident. If you don't know, do not submit the case. If
it occurred after 30 days, do not submit.
.52 For the cases you do submit, you must complete Forms HS-214,
HS-214A, HS-214B unless you have been granted an exemption.
.6 Code the required elements as follows:
These mandatory elements are the minimum number of elements
needed to consider a case a legitimate FARS case. Once these
elements have been coded, the values cannot be changed. Changes
can only be made by deleting the case and re-entering it.

Remarks:
Assign the accident to the roadway function class on which
the vehicle(s) is/are traveling.
Intersection Accidents
In an at intersection accident, which involves a motor
vehicle traveling through an intersection without moving
from one function class roadway to another, assign the
accident to the function class roadway on which the
vehicle is traveling.
In an at intersection accident involving vehicles traveling
on different roadways of different class,assign the accident
to the roadway of the higher function class.
If the vehicles are traveling on different roadways of equal
class, assign the accident to the roadway on which the vehicle
precipitating the accident is traveling.
All Other Types of Accidents
ALL OTHER TYPES OF ACCIDENTS (including intersection related
and interchange)
In any non-intersection traffic accident, assign the
accident to the function class on which the first
harmful event occurred, or if the first harmful event
did not occur on a trafficway, to the roadway function
class of the road on which the unstabilized situation
originated.
For any area within two or more classes, but not within
an intersection the higher class trafficway takes precedence.
Questionable Cases
QUESTIONABLE CASES
In any questionable case, the higher function class takes
precedence.
Federal Highway Administration classification obtainable from
the State Highway Department must be used. No other
classification source is acceptable. Refer problems in
obtaining the F.H.W.A. classification to Regional State Assignee.

Remarks:
Definition: The first property damage or injury producing event.
In accidents involving harmful events caused by objects set in motion by
a Motor Vehicle in Transport.
Code 05 (Fell from Vehicle) is used when falling from the vehicle is the
first event causing damage or injury.
Code 13 (Motor Vehicle in Transport in Other Roadway) differs from Code 12
in that it applies to events in which a vehicle leaves one.
Code 13 should not be used in an at intersection accident (where the First
Harmful Event occurs in the intersection).
Code 14 (Parked Motor Vehicle) refers to the collision of a motor vehicle.
Code 16 ( Thrown or Falling Object ) is a noncollision event and, unless
there is another collision during the accident.
Code 17 ( Boulder ) is a rock of sufficient mass that when
struck by a motor vehicle moves very little and remains
basically intact. It may be considered as a fixed object.
Code 20 ( Impact Attenuator ) is a device for controlling the
absorption of energy released during vehicle collision. Its
most common application involves the protection of fixed
roadside objects such as bridge piers, elevated gores at exit
ramps, etc. Examples include barrels filled with water or
sand, and plastic collapsible structures.
Code 21, ( Bridge Pier or Abutment ) refer to support structures. They
are most likely to be struck by vehicles passing under bridges.
Bridge Pier - a square or round column of stone, concrete,
brick, steel or wood for supporting a bridge between
abutments.
Bridge Abutment - wall supporting the ends of a bridge
generally retaining or supporting the embankment under bridge
ends and composed of stone, concrete, brick, or wood.
Code 22 ( Bridge Parapet End ) and code 23 ( Bride Rail ) are
components of the upper portion of bridges.
Code 22 ( Bridge Parapet End ) the end of a low wall which
runs along the outer most edge of the roadway or sidewalk on the
bridge.
Code 23 ( Bridge Rail ) a wooden, brick, stone, concrete or metal
fence-like wall which runs along the outermost edge of the
roadway or sidewalk on the bridge or a rail constructed along
the top of a parapet.
Bridges do not need to support another roadway. It may be an
overpass for a train or even for a viaduct (water conduit).
See the figure on bridge components on page 46 for a
diagram of the three bridge codes 21, 22, and 23.
Barriers as in codes 24, 25 and 26 refer to a physical
structure such as a guardrail, a concrete safety barrier or a
rock wall which has the primary function of preventing
cross-median travel by deflecting and redirecting vehicles
along the roadway on which they were traveling. Therefore,
trees, curbing, rumble strips and drain depressions are not
barriers.
Code 24 ( Guardrail ) is a low barrier
running along the edge of a road shoulder either on the right
or the left and which has the primary longitudinal structure
composed of metal (plates, cable, mesh, box beam, etc.).
A guardrail is differentiated from Code 25 (Concrete Traffic Barrier)
by the material making up the greatest part of the
longitudinal portion of the structure. In the case of
guardrails, this is metal whereas in concrete barriers this
is concrete (including concrete rails). All other barriers
such as wood or rock and unknown barrier composition types
should be coded 26.
Code 27 ( Highway/Traffic Sign ) is used when the post
supporting a traffic sign is hit by a motor vehicle in transport.
Code 28 ( Overhead Sign Support ) is used when the sign
supported is above the highway. The difference between codes
27 and 28 is the location.
Code 30 ( Utility Pole ) - Electrical, Telephone, Cable
and other utility pole type supports.
Traffic Signal is coded 31.
Bridge Code Diagram Goes Here
BRIDGE CODE DIAGRAM GOES HERE
Code 32 ( Culvert ) is any structure entirely under the
roadway and less than 20 feet in span measured along the
centerline of the roadway.
An Embankment, codes 35-37, is a raised structure to hold
back water, to carry a roadway or the result of excavation or
washout (including errosion) which may be faced with earth
(Code 35) or rock, stone or concrete (code 36). An
embankment can usually be differentiated from a wall by its
incline whereas a wall is usually vertical. However, there
are exceptions to this such as a retaining wall which may be
inclined or a vertical embankment which is caused by a
natural event such as a washout.
In accidents involving a field approach or crossing, if in
doubt about when to use codes 32, 34 (Culvert or Ditch) or
codes 35, 36, 37 (Embankment), use the following criteria:
Use code 32, 34 if the driver would not have been able
to recover from the ditch even if there had been no
field approach (crossing).
Use code 35, 36, 37 if the driver would have been able
to recover from the ditch, but struck the field approach
(crossing) prior to doing so.
Use code 35, 36, 37 if it is not known whether or not
the driver could be recovered from the ditch and a field
approach (crossing) is involved.
Code 39 ( Wall ) is a primarily vertical (+ 15 from vertical) structure
composed of concrete, metal, timber, or stone which is not part of
a building or a fence but typically is used for retaining earth,
abating noise, and separating areas.
Code 43 ( Other Fixed Object) This is used when the object is fixed and
is not described by any of the other fixed object codes.
Code 99 (Unknown) This is used when it is not known what the First Harmful
Event is. For example, if a series of harmful events occured and
it is unclear which was first.
* These values are unlikely occurances and will raise an error
flag.

3 Rear-to-Rear*
4 Angle
5 Sideswipe, same direction
6 Sideswipe, opposite direction
9 Unknown
Remarks:
Refers only to accidents in which the FIRST HARMFUL EVENT is
a collision between two motor vehicles in transport (codes 12
and 13).
A head-on collision is one in which the front end of one
vehicle collides with the front end of another vehicle, while
the two vehicles are travelling in opposite directions. It
also applies to those cases in which the direction of force
was head-on immediately preceding the collision. For example,
two vehicles are travelling in opposite directions. One
vehicle slides into the path of the other, hitting it at an
angle. Although the actual impact was not head-on, the
important fact is that the direction of force was, and thus
should be coded as a head-on collision.
Sideswipe, code 5 or 6, may be applied if the following are
true for both vehicles involved in the First Harmful Event.
1. The initial engagement does not overlap the corner of
either vehicle by more than four inches, so that there
is no significant involvement of the front or rear
surface areas.
2. There is no pocketing of the impact in the suspension
areas. The impact then swipes along the surface of the
vehicle parallel to the direction of travel.
3. There is low retardation of the force along the surface
of the vehicle.
4. Again, these must be true for both vehicles involved in
the collision (with each other) which is the first
harmful event.
5. For the sake of convention, end swipes are coded as angle
(code 4).
If unclear if the collision was an angle or a sideswipe code
it as angle.
* This value is an unlikely occurance and will raise an error
flag.
Consistency Checks:
(A430) 1. If MANNER OF COLLISION equals 2, then VEHICLE ROLE

2.5.9 Driveway Access
2.5.17 Ramp
2.5.20 Gore
2.7.7 Interchange Accident
Be sure to review all of the appropriate diagrams with these definitions.
Some question arises as to when to code Interchange Area
(code 4) as opposed to Entrance/Exit Ramp (code 6) because
ramps are a subset of the interchange area. Refer to the
diagram of the interchange area on page 54. In general,
code ramps only if the first harmful event occurs on the ramp
roadway. Two exceptions to this are if it occurs in the
merge/ diverge area of the ramp at the freeway in which case
use code 4 - Interchange Area. The other exception is at the
other end of the ramp where it intersects with the lower
class road (surface street) where code 2 - Intersection or
code 3 - Intersection Related may be used. However, caution
should be exercised when using code 3 that it should not be
more appropriately coded 6 (ramp). The following Table
should help:
Location of First Code A60 through
Harmful Event A58 A59 A69 with respect to:
a. on ramp roadway 6 1 ramp (special note
- use A60-code 4)
b. in intersection with 2 1 surface street
surface street
c. at or approaching 3 1 surface street
intersection with
surface street
d. anywhere else along ramp 4 2-9 higher class road
except on roadway
(within interchange)
e. anywhere else along ramp 1 2-9 surface street
except on roadway (not
within interchange)
In the situation where a 'ramp' connects parallel freeways, code
ramp if the 'design features' of the 'ramp' indicate it to be so
or if the 'design features' are unknown. Otherwise treat the
ramp as a separate trafficway.
An entrance/exit ramp may exist outside an interchange area
(i.e. rest area).
Code 8 refers to a turn lane located in the median designated
for crossing over from one roadway to another. This only
applies to trafficways with separate roadways and a median.

Remarks:
This element is coded as to the location of the first harmful
event.
A median (code 3) is defined as the portion of a divided
highway separating the travel ways for traffic in opposing
directions. The principal functions of a median are to
provide the desired freedom from interference of opposing
traffic, to provide a recovery area for out-of-control
vehicles, to provide a stopping area in case of emergencies,
to provide for speed change and storage of left-turning and
U-turning vehicles, and to minimize headlight glare. Medians
may be depressed, raised, or flush. Flush medians can be as
little as 2 feet wide between roadway edgelines. Painted
roadway edgelines two (2) or more feet wide denote medians.
Medians of lesser width must have a barrier to be considered
a median. Continuous left turn lanes are considered medians.
Code 4 refers to a location off the roadway but inside the
right-of-way.
Code 6 refers to a location off the roadway, but its
relationship to the right-of-way is not known.
Code 7 refers to a strip of road located on the roadway which
has been designated for parking. This code is used only if
the accident occurred during the designated parking hours. At
other hours, it is considered a regular traffic lane.
Code 8 - Gore is an area of land where two roadways diverge
or converge. The area is bounded on two sides by the edges
of the roadways, which join at the point of divergence or
convergence. The direction of traffic must be the same on
both of these roadways. The area includes shoulders or
marked pavement, if any, between the roadways. The third
side is 60 meters (approximately 200 feet) from the point of
divergence of convergence or, if any other road is within 70
meters (230 feet) of that point, a line 10 meters (33 feet)
from the nearest edge of such road.
Inclusions:
Areas at rest area entry or exit ramps.
Areas at truck weight station entry or exit ramps.
Areas where two main roadways diverge or converge.
Areas where a ramp and another roadway, or two ramps, diverge
or converge.
Areas where a frontage road and another roadway or two
frontage roads, diverge or converge.
And others.
Exclusions:
Islands for channelization of vehicle movements.
Islands for pedestrian refuge.

Remarks:
This variable should be coded in accordance with the roadway
selected as discussed in the remarks section under ROADWAY
FUNCTION CLASS (A36).
A trafficway may include several roadways if it is a
physically divided highway. Trafficways are not physically
divided unless the divider is a median, barrier, or other
constructed device. Pavement markings do qualify. Refer to
the definition of a median under RELATION TO ROADWAY.
All traffic barriers are constructed on a median strip;
therefore, if a traffic barrier exists on a divided highway,
code 3 must be used. If it is not known whether or not a
barrier exists, assume one does not and use code 2 (that is,
if a median is known to exist).

Speed Limit
SPEED LIMIT
Format: 2 numeric
Element Values:
Blanks
Actual Posted or Statutory Miles Per Hour* Except:
00 No Statutory Limit
99 Unknown
Remarks:
Refers to the highway speed limit that is operational at the
time and place of the accident whether physically displayed
or not.
Disregard advisory or other speed signs since they do not
indicate the legal speed limit.
Acceptable speed limits are in 5 mph increments.
Accurate coding of SPEED LIMIT is extremely important. Do not rely
solely on the Police Accident Report. Check with the State Highway
Department as well.
When a roadway has a different speed limit for different
types of vehicles, code SPEED LIMIT, A62 the SPEED LIMIT
that is applicable to passenger cars.
Example: A rural Interstate highway has a speed limit
of 65MPH for passenger cars, but the same road
has a 55MPH speed limit for heavy trucks/buses.
Circumstance1: A single vehicle (passenger car)
accident. SPEED LIMIT A62 = 65MPH
Circumstance 2: A single vehicle (heavy truck/bus)
accident. SPEED LIMIT A62 = 65MPH
Circumstance 3: A two vehicle accident, (passenger
car and heavy truck/bus) accident
SPEED LIMIT A62 = 65MPH
Logic: Our statisticians feel that it would be more
representive to code the SPEED LIMIT of the
majority of the traffic, namely the passenger
car. In addition, they feel that by
identifying the car speed limit of 65MPH, then
they can determine the truck speed limit by
reviewing the state's speed limit law. (The
reverse is not necessarily true.)
When coding SPEED LIMIT on On-Off Ramps (i.e., when the First Harmful
Event occurs on the ramp), consider the following:
a. When a ramp has a posted Speed Limit - a regulatory
(black on white) sign, not an advisory (black on
yellow) one - the posted speed should be coded.
b. When there is an advisory speed limit or no sign
at all, you should:
1.- Check with your State Highway Department
tosee if there is animplicitspeed limit
for all unmarked ramps. If there is, code
that speed limit.
2.- If there is not; code the speed limit of
the controlled access highway.
* Values less than 15 mph are unlikely occurances and will
raise an error flag.
Consistency Checks:
(A220) 1. If ROADWAY FUNCTION CLASS equals 01,11 then SPEED LIMIT

Remarks
Remarks:
Code this element whether the device was functioning or not.
If more than one device is present, code the highest device
on list most related to the accident. The only exception is
code 50. If this is present, code 50 takes precedence over
entire list.
Pavement markings are not considered as traffic control
devices.
Regulatory signs inform highway users of traffic laws or
regulations and indicate the applicability of legal
requirements that would not otherwise be apparent. Warning
signs are used when it is deemed necessary to warn traffic of
existing or potentially hazardous conditions on or adjacent
to a highway or street. If there is a question as to which
type a sign is, consult the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) or the Regional CTM. Generally, the
appropriate code should be used if a party to the accident
failed to heed the sign, was in a position to be controlled
by the sign, or the sign has some relationship to the
accident. For example, code 20 - Stop Sign for an accident
at a four-legged, two-way stop intersection where a driver
fails to stop at the stop sign and collides with another
vehicle. Conversely, at the same intersection, a driver on
an approach not controlled by a stop sign looses control and
strikes a utility pole. In this case code 20 would not be
appropriate. Code 40 - Warning Sign would be appropriate for
a vehicle that fails to negotiate a curve which is posted
with a warning sign.
Another set of questions arise from the issue of proximity of
the device to the accident. Analysts' judgement must be
applied in these situations. Typical signs which create such
problems are speed limit signs where a party to the accident
may be speeding; Do Not Pass signs where a no passing zone
extends for miles but is only marked at the beginning of the
zone; Pedestrians, etc. Prohibited signs at entrances to
freeways but a pedestrian accident occurs between on the
freeway between interchanges; and other such signs which may
pertain to a significant length of road. In these instances,
if the accident occurs within reasonably close proximity of
the sign and the sign type is relevant to the accident then
it may be appropriate to code the sign.
Code 05 - Beacon has a single head and flashes as
opposed to the rest of codes 01-09 which have several heads,
as in red-yellow-green on colors signal.
If a flashing red beacon appears with a stop sign, the proper code is 05.
08 should be coded when a School Bus uses flashing lights to control traffic
around the bus, regardless of any additional signs the school
Advisory speed signs are coded 40.
Codes 30-39 should only be used if the accident occurred
during the time the sign was in effect.

guidelines apply:
Code the NOTIFICATION AND ARRIVAL TIMES of the first EMS unit
to arrive on the scene.
Code the EMS TIME AT HOSPITAL of the unit transporting the most
severely injured victim.
The most severely injured includes (and usually is) the victim who dies
enroute or later, but not the one who dies on the scene.
If the fatalities all occur on-scene, code the EMS TIME AT HOSPITAL of
the next most severely injured victim.
If all of the injuries are on-scene fatalities (no one is transported
for treatment), code the NOTIFICATION and ARRIVAL TIMES.
(A540) 1. ARRIVAL TIME EMS should not be more than 120
minutes later than NOTIFICATION TIME EMS.
(A070) 2. If NOTIFICATION TIME EMS is not 0000 or 9999,
then NOTIFICATION TIME EMS should not be more
than 120 minutes later than TIME.

60 minutes later then ARRIVAL TIME EMS.
(A560) 4. EMS TIME AT HOSPITAL should not be more than
180 minutes later than NOTIFICATION TIME EMS.

transmittal of the complete VIN, code the right-most four
characters as numeric zeros. All alphabetic 0's must be
coded as a zero crossed with a slash. If VIN is less than
seventeen (17) characters, leave remaining characters blank.
DO NOT ZERO FILL. VIN is always left justified. Code as not
applicable (zeroes) the VIN of vehicles which do not require
registration (farm tractors, go-carts, etc.).
See page 127.
Remarks (V14 thru V22):
VEHICLE MAKE, VEHICLE MODEL, VEHICLE BODY TYPE, MODEL YEAR as
shown on accident reports must be verified with registration
data. In the case of inconsistencies, registration data
takes precedence over accident report data. Note that
vehicle information should be gathered only from State
records. Do not use any other sources to determine any of
these elements, that is; you should not use sources such as
the NATB Passenger Vehicle Identification Manual.
VEHICLE MAKE codes are organized into general groups. These
groups are:
01-28 Domestic Passenger Car
29 Other Domestic Passenger Car
30 Volkswagen
31-58 Import Passenger Car
59 Other Import Passenger Car
60-68 Motor Cycle
69 Other Motor Cycle
70 Moped (if make not already tested)
80-83, 85-88 Truck/Bus
84 International Harvester
95 Other Truck/Bus
98 Other Make (where MAKE 29, 59, 69, 70,
or 95 is not applicable)
99 Unknown Make
VEHICLE MODEL refers to the series of vehicles for a make,
e.g., Pintos, Galaxies, Mustangs are Models of Ford. It does
not refer to the various styles within a model unless they
are listed in the codes for VEHICLE MODEL.
The MODEL codes are organized into general groups. These
groups are:
01-29 Domestic Passenger Car (automobile)
31-59 Import Passenger Car (automobile)
60-69 Motored Cycles (including motorcycles, mini-bikes,
motor scooters, dirt bikes, and mo-peds)
70-76 Light Trucks (including truck based utility vehicles,
light duty pickup trucks, standard pickup trucks,
vans, mini vans, van based station wagons, van based
busses, van derivatives, and truck based
station wagons)
78-79 Other-Unknown (light truck)
80-87, Trucks/Busses (including all trucks over 10,000
90 lbs. GVWR except those pickup type trucks mentioned
under BODY TYPE code '50' (Pickup), and all
busses except those that are van based).
88,89 Other, Unknown, <truck (or bus over 10,000 lbs. GVWR)>
97 Other (not automobile, motored cycle, bus or
truck but is of BODY TYPE code 80-89)
98,99 Other, Unknown <automobile (domestic or import)>
00 Unknown (whether automobile, motored cycle, light truck
or truck)
Note that for both MAKE and MODEL the use of the terms
'other' and 'unknown' have very specific meanings. 'Other'
refers to a MAKE or MODEL which is known but is not
explicitly listed. 'Unknown' refers to the situation where
no specific named MAKE or MODEL is known. Selection of the
proper 'other' or 'unknown' code can only be made with
consideration of the vehicle BODY TYPE in accordance with the
following table (Table A) of applicable BODY TYPE for given
combinations of 'other' and/or 'unknown' MAKE and MODEL.
4WD, FWD, or Four Wheel Drive does not automatically imply
on/off road vehicle (Utility Vehicles), body types 12 and 56.

Rollover
ROLLOVER
Format: 1 numeric
Element Values:

0 No Rollover
1 First Event
2 Subsequent Event
Remarks:
Rollover refers to vehicles overturning during the accident.
Rollover is defined as any vehicle rotation of 90 degrees or more,
about any true longitudinal or lateral axis.
Rollover does not apply to motorcycles (code as 0).
Subsequent Event refers to a rollover which occurs after the
first harmful event.
If it cannot be determined that a rollover has occurred, then
use code 0 - No Rollover.
Consistency Checks:
(5A0P) 1. If BODY TYPE equals 20-29, then ROLLOVER must equal 0.
(1Z0P) 2. If MOST HARMFUL EVENT equals 01, then ROLLOVER must not
equal 0 for this vehicle, unless BODY TYPE equals 20-29 or
blank for this vehicle.
Special Processing Rules:
(7A0F) 1. If FIRST HARMFUL EVENT equals 01, then ROLLOVER must
equal 1 or blank for at least one vehicle, or BODY TYPE
must equal 20-29 or blank for at least one vehicle.
Jacknife
JACKKNIFE
Format: 1 numeric
Element Values:
Blank
0 Not an Articulated Vehicle
1 No
2 First Event
3 Subsequent Event
Remarks:
Jackknife applies to a condition which occurs to a semi-truck
(i.e., power unit and one or more trailers) while in motion.
The condition reflects a loss of control of the truck by the
driver in which the trailer yaws more than 15 degrees (as
best as can be determined by the analyst) from its normal
straight line path behind the cab. If the final resting
configuration of the vehicle is in the jackknife position, it
does not necessarily mean that the vehicle has jackknifed
(such as, an accident occurring while the vehicle is backing
up or parking).
Subsequent Event refers to a jackknife which occurs after the
first harmful event.
Jackknife is not likely to be a 'harmful' event but may be
part of an unstabilized condition just before the first
harmful event.
Consistency Checks:
(5B0P) 1. If JACKKNIFE equals 0 and BODY TYPE equals 74, then
VEHICLE TRAILERING must not equals 1-4.
(6B0P) 2. If JACKKNIFE equals 1-3, then BODY TYPE must equals 74.
(7B0F) 3. If JACKKNIFE equals 2, 3, then DRIVER PRESENCE must
equal 1.
(2B0P) 4. If JACKKNIFE equals 1-3, then VEHICLE TRAILERING must not
equal 0, 9.
(3B0P) 5. If JACKKNIFE equals 2-3, then TRAVEL SPEED must not equal
00.

Remarks
Trailing unit applies to any device connected to a motor
vehicle by a hitch, including tractor-trailer combinations,
boat hitched onto a motor vehicle, etc. This does not
include towed vehicles, such as a tow truck pulling a
vehicle, or vehicles towed by rope or chain. Only legal
hitches are coded 1-3.

(V020) 1. If VEHICLE TRAILERING equals 1, then BODY TYPE should
not equal 20-29, 30-32, 80, 82.
(V110) 2. If either RELATED FACTORS-VEHICLE LEVEL equals 15,
then VEHICLE TRAILERING should not equal 0.

Remarks:
Refers to whether the motor vehicle was used for a function
other than the primary function for that type vehicle. In
other words, this element is coded 1-9 in those cases where
BODY TYPE does not reflect how the vehicle was being used.
For example, if a vehicle is coded BODY TYPE 30 (School Bus),
SPECIAL USE is coded 0 since BODY TYPE already indicates the
vehicle's use, and it would be redundant to code this element
2. On the other hand, if a van is being used as a school
bus, this element would be coded 2 because the coding of BODY
TYPE as 40 (Van) does not indicate the fact that the van is
actually being used as a school bus.
Code '0' (No Special Use).
Code '1' (Taxi) refers to vehicles used during this trip (at
the time of the accident) on a fee-for-hire basis to
transport persons. Most of these vehicles will be marked and
formally registered as taxis; however, vehicles which are
used as taxis, even though they are not registered (e.g.,
Gypsy Cabs), are included here. Taxis and drivers which are
off-duty at the time of the accident are coded 0.
Code '2' (Vehicle used as school bus) refers to a motor
vehicle which satisfies the following criteria:
o externally identifiable to other traffic units as a
school/pupil transport vehicle;
o operated or owned by a public or private school-type
institution;
o where the institution's students may range from
pre-school through high school;
o whose occupants, if any, are associated with the
institution; and,
o the vehicle is in operation at the time of the accident
to and from the school or on a school-sponsored activity
or trip.
Code '3' (Vehicle used as other bus) refers to a motor
vehicle which is designed for transporting more than ten
persons and does not satisfy the above criteria of a school
bus.
For codes '4' (Military), '5' (Police), and '6' (Ambulance)
special use means in use and not necessarily emergency use.
External identification to the normal driving public is the
criterion.
Code '4' (Military) refers to a vehicle which is owned by any
of the Armed Forces. These vehicles are presumed to be in
special military use at all times.
Code '5' (Police) refers to a readily identifiable (lights or
markings) vehicle which is owned by any local, county, state
or federal police agency. The vehicles are presumed to be in
special police use at all times. Personal vehicles (not
owned by the agency) which are used by officers or agents
(e.g., undercover) are excluded.
Military police vehicles are coded '4' (Military).
Code '6' (Ambulance) refers to those readily identifiable
(lights or markings) vehicles: (1) whose sole purpose is to
provide ambulance service and which is always presumed to be
in special ambulance use at all times, or (2) vehicles
serving dual purposes such as a hearse used for both funeral
and emergency purposes, which is only coded, when used for
the latter purpose.
Military ambulances are coded '4' (Military)

16 Override
99 Unknown
Remarks:
Code the first impact point that produced property damage or
personal injury ( regardless of FIRST or MOST HARMFUL EVENT ).
If principal and initial impact points are the same, code
both elements the same.
Codes 01-12 refer to the point on a clock. Refer to the
diagram on the following page for examples of how to
superimpose the clock point on several vehicle types.
It is important to note that impact point refers mainly to
the area of the vehicle which sustained the impact and does
not depend upon the attitude of the vehicle (e.g., damage to
a grille is still damage at 12 o-clock even if it was caused
by sliding sideways past a utility pole).
However, code 13 - top may raise questions. The front and
rear windows of some vehicles may also be viewed from the
top. It may also be difficult to code impacts to the hood
and rear deck of a vehicle.
With code '13', the direction of force sometimes has to be
considered. The following are guidelines for using code 13 -
top.
1. If the impact was received horizontally to an upright
vehicle, use one of the codes 01 to 12.
2. If the impact was received from a vertical direction
above the upright vehicle, use code 13.
3. If the impact received or direction of force was at an
angle of less than 15 degrees above the horizontal, it is
considered horizontal.
With a vehicle in other than upright attitudes, remember, it
is the area of the vehicle which was impacted that is
important.
Do not use code 13 if code 15 (underride) is more
appropriate.
If FIRST HARMFUL EVENT is coded 01-07 or 16 and no impact to
the vehicle occurs throughout the accident, then code IMPACT
POINT-INITIAL as 00, IMPACT POINT-PRINCIPAL as 00, and
VEHICLE ROLE as 0.
If FIRST HARMFUL EVENT is coded 01-07 or 16 (particularly
code 01 - overturn) and impacts to the vehicle do occur, then
code the appropriate IMPACT POINT-INITIAL and PRINCIPAL, and
code VEHICLE ROLE as appropriate.
If the only event is an overturn, the accident is considered
a noncollision; therefore the impact points are coded 00.
The only time the actual impact points would be coded would
be if the vehicle incurred damage from impacting against an
'object' at any time during the accident, whether an overturn
occurs or not. Hitting the ground is not regarded as an
'impact'.
Wheel impacts are coded 14.
UNDERRIDE refers to a vehicle sliding under another vehicle
during the course of the accident. The classic example is an
automobile striking the rear end or side of a tractor-trailer
and coming to a stop under the trailer. In this example, the
automobile is underriding and it is coded as the underride
vehicle.
UNDERRIDE is not applicable to motorcycles or snowmobiles.
OVERRIDE refers to a vehicle riding up over another
(including a parked vehicle). The vehicle performing the
action is coded 16. A vehicle straddling a guardrail, for
example, is not coded 16 but may be 14 - Undercarriage.
This is for a Diagram.

Remarks:
Must be the major event FOR THIS VEHICLE, even if different
from the FIRST HARMFUL EVENT.
This element is used for those instances when the FIRST
HARMFUL EVENT is minor, for a particular vehicle, compared to
some subsequent event. Otherwise, MOST HARMFUL EVENT and
FIRST HARMFUL EVENT are coded the same for the given vehicle.
Code for each vehicle. May be different for each vehicle.
Code as follows:
(A) FATALITIES take precedence over INJURIES.
1) If this vehicle is involved in more than one
event which causes fatality to its own occupants or
to non-motorists, choose the event which causes the
greatest number of fatalities to occupants of this
vehicle or to non-motorists (not occupants of other
vehicles).
2) If this vehicle is involved in more than one
event which causes fatality to its own occupants or
to non-motorists; and if there are an equal number
of fatalities in each such event, choose the fatal
event which is worst with respect to other injuries
and property damage.
3) At last resort, choose the fatal event which
occurred first, time-wise.
(B) INJURIES take precedence over PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1) If the vehicle is not involved in events which
cause fatality to its occupants or to
non-motorist, choose the event which produces the
worst injury.
2) If in doubt, choose the event with the greatest
number of injuries.
3) If in doubt, choose the event which occurred
first, time-wise.
(C) If only PROPERTY DAMAGE results for this vehicle:
1) Choose the event causing the most damage.
2) If in doubt, choose the event which happened
first, time-wise.
Code 05 (Fell from Vehicle) is used when falling from the vehicle is the
major event causing damage or injury.
Code 13 (Motor Vehicle in Transport in Other Roadway) differs from Code 12
in that it applies to events in which this vehicle leaves
Code 13 should not be used in an at intersection accident (where the First
Harmful Event occurs in the intersection).
Code 14 (Parked Motor Vehicle) refers to the collision of a motor vehicle in
transport with a motor vehicle not in transport.
Code 16 ( Thrown or Falling Object ) is a noncollision event and, unless
there is another collision during the accident, IMPACT POINTS (V49
and V51) for the vehicle involved must be coded 00.
Code 17 ( Boulder ) is a rock of sufficient mass that when
struck by a motor vehicle moves very little and remains
basically intact. It may be considered as a fixed object.
Code 20 ( Impact Attenuator ) is a device for controlling the
absorption of energy released during vehicle collision. Its
most common application involves the protection of fixed
roadside objects such as bridge piers, elevated gores at exit
ramps, etc. Examples include barrels filled with water or
sand, and plastic collapsible structures.
Code 21, ( Bridge Pier or Abutment ) refer to support structures. They are
most likely to be struck by vehicles passing under bridges.
Bridge Pier - a square or round column of stone, concrete,
brick, steel or wood for supporting a bridge between
abutments.
Bridge Abutment - wall supporting the ends of a bridge
generally retaining or supporting the embankment under bridge
ends and composed of stone, concrete, brick, or wood.
Code 22 (Bridge Parapet End) and code 23 (Bride Rail) are components of
the upper portion of bridges.
Code 22 (Bridge Parapet End) the end of a low wall which runs along the
outer most edge of the roadway or sidewalk on the bridge.
Code 23 (Bridge Rail) a wooden, brick, stone, concrete or metal
fence-like wall which runs along the outermost edge of the
roadway or sidewalk on the bridge or a rail constructed along
the top of a parapet.
Bridges do not need to support another roadway. It may be an
overpass for a train or even for a viaduct (water conduit).
See the figure on bridge components on page 44 for a
diagram of the three bridge codes 21, 22, and 23.
Barriers as in codes 24, 25 and 26 refer to a physical
structure such as a guardrail, a concrete safety barrier or a
rock wall which has the primary function of preventing
cross-median travel by deflecting and redirecting vehicles
along the roadway on which they were traveling. Therefore,
trees, curbing, rumble strips and drain depressions are not
barriers.
Code 24 ( Guardrail ) is a low barrier
running along the edge of a road shoulder either on the right
or the left and which has the primary longitudinal structure
composed of metal (plates, cable, mesh, box beam, etc.).
A guardrail is differentiated from Code 25 ( Concrete Traffic
Barrier ) by the material making up the greatest part of the
longitudinal portion of the structure. In the case of
guardrails, this is metal whereas in concrete barriers this
is concrete (including concrete rails). All other barriers
such as wood or rock and unknown barrier composition types
should be coded 26.
Code 27 ( Highway/Traffic Sign ) is used when the post supporting a
traffic sign is hit by a motor vehicle in transport.
Code 28 ( Overhead Sign Support ) is used when the sign supported is
above the highway.
Code 30 ( Utility Pole ) - Electrical, Telephone, Cable and other
utility pole type supports.
Traffic Signal is coded 31.
Code 32 ( Culvert ) is any structure entirely under the roadway
and less than 20 feet in span measured along the centerline of
the roadway.
An Embankment, codes 35-37, is a raised structure to hold
back water, to carry a roadway or the result of excavation or
washout (including errosion) which may be faced with earth
(Code 35) or rock, stone or concrete (code 36). An
embankment can usually be differentiated from a wall by its
incline whereas a wall is usually vertical. However, there
are exceptions to this such as a retaining wall which may be
inclined or a vertical embankment which is caused by a
natural event such as a washout.
In accidents involving a field approach or crossing, if in
doubt about when to use codes 32, 34 (Culvert or Ditch) or
codes 35, 36, 37 (Embankment), use the following criteria:
Use code 32, 34 if the driver would not have been able
to recover from the ditch even if there had been no
field approach (crossing).
Use code 35, 36, 37 if the driver would have been able
to recover from the ditch, but struck the field approach
(crossing) prior to doing so.
Use code 35, 36, 37 if it is not known whether or not
the driver could have recovered from the ditch and a field
approach (crossing) is involved.
Code 39 ( Wall ) is a primarily vertical (+ 15 from vertical) structure
composed of concrete, metal, timber, or stone which is not
part of a building or a fence but typically is used for
retaining earth, abating noise, and separating areas (but not
for containment as in the primary function of a fence). Also
included as a wall are headwalls (or endwalls) which are
sometimes provided on culvert ends principally to protect the
sides of the embankment around the culvert opening against
erosion. This does not include wing-walls which are attached
to ends of bridge abutments and extend back at an angle from
the roadway. Wingwalls should be coded as code 21.
Code 43 ( Other Fixed Object) This is used when the object is fixed
and is not described by any of the other fixed object codes.
Code 99 (Unknown) This is used when it is not known what the Most
Harmful Event is.
* These values are unlikely occurances and will raise an error
flag.

records take precedence over police reported information.
Remarks:
When involved drivers are in the military, the analyst should
be cautious because some States automatically (without driver
application) renew drivers' licenses or extend the license until
the individual is discharged. Each state analyst should be
familiar with their state's policy on military personnel and code
these license variables accordingly. In addition, when out-of-state
driver requests are made the analyst requesting the data should note
that the driver is in the military.
Code "0" (Not licensed) should be used only when it has been
reasonablyestablishedthatthedriverisnotregistered (anywhere).
Drivers who have a license but fail to have their license with them
at the time of the accident should be coded accordingly to the
type(class) of license they possess and the validity of the
license. If the police report indicates that the driver has "no
license", the analyst should first determine whether this means that
that the person was not in possession of his/her license at the
time of the accident, or that the driver is not a registered motor
vehicle operator. A review of the violations cited section of the
police report may yield some clues in this matter. If the person
is cited for not possessing his/her license or for not having one,
then code this information in variables D20 and D44-48, Violations
Charged and Related Factors - Driver Level. If the analyst is
uncertain as to whether or not the person possesses a license, then
code "9" (Unknown) should be used.
Code "1" (Suspended), "2" (Revoked), or "3" (Expired) are used if
the driver's license is suspended, revoked, or expired.
If the license is revoked or suspended but limited driving is
permitted (e.g., to and from work), use the following criteria:
a. If the accident occurs during permitted times of driving, code
DRIVER LICENSE STATUS as 'Licensed' (code 5 or 6), code
COMPLIANCE WITH LICENSE RESTRICTIONS as 'Restrictions Complied
with' (code 1), and code RELATED FACTORS-DRIVER LEVEL as '19'.
b. If the accident occurs during invalid times for driving, code
DRIVER LICENSE STATUS as suspended or revoked (code 1 or 2),
code COMPLIANCE WITH LICENSE RESTRICTIONS as 'Not Applicable'
(code 0), and do not use RELATED FACTORS-DRIVER LEVEL code 19.
Code "4" (Canceled or denied) is used whenever the driver's
official driver record indicates the driver's license (1) was
canceled or (2) the driver's request for license, or an extension
of one, was denied.
Code"5"(Singleclass license) referstoanyvalidlicense held
by the driver that is valid for a class of vehicle. If the driver
is in violation of some aspect of his/her license (e.g., one of the
restrictions) donot consider the license asbeingnotvalid.
Record the restriction on variable D19 (Compliance with License
Restrictions) if applicable. If the police cite the driver for
the violation,then the information would be recorded under variables
D20 and D44-48 (Violations Charged and/or Related Factors-Driver
Level).
Code "6" (Multiple class license) means that the State which issued
the driver's license ( the one reported on the PAR) indicates that
the driver is qualified to operate more than one class of vehicle.
Having licenses from more than one state, territory, etc., does not
constitute a multiple class license.
Code "7" (learner's permit) includes anytypeof preliminary
license the driver obtained. It is defined as the state-sanctioned
authority to operate a motor vehicle for a specified period with
the requirement that the operator be accompanied by a person who
holds a valid driver's license for the vehicle type being operated.
There may be additional requirements (e.g., driving limited to
certain time periods) which arealso consideredwithinthe
definition of a learner's permit.
Code "8" (Temporary) includes any type of nonpermanent license
issued for a period of time less than that for a permanent license
(e.g., temporary license to drive within a resort area; temporary
license issued to foreign nationals). Short term permanent
licenses are not temporary (e.g., license issued to elderly drivers
requiring frequent retesting). Interim licenses held by new
drivers awaiting a permanent driver license identification from the
state are not temporary.
Code "9" (Unknown) should be used when it is unknown whether the
driver had a license or not (e.g., hit-and-run). Code"9" is also
used when the status of the license is unknown.
See reference table for coding variables D17 and D18, following the
remarks section of variable D18 (Driver License Type Compliance).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In distinguishing license requirements from restrictions focus upon
whetherornot all drivers possessing the typeof license are
mandated to obeythe requirement. If they are, then the
requirement is not a restriction, but rather part of the definition
of the license.
Restrictions, on the other hand, are requirements specific to
individual drivers.

involved) are not to be coded as valid either.
Code "3" (Valid license for this class vehicle) refers to the class
of vehicle being driven. As an example, the driver has a
a driver might possess a multiple class license allowing him or her
to drive a passenger car as well as a motorcycle.
Code "9" (Unknown) should be used when the driver has a license but

Remarks:
Seating position is not applicable to nonmotorists; code
these 00.
DO submit person forms for uninjured persons with SEATING
POSITION codes of 51-53, 55, 99 unless they are uninjured bus
passengers.
Use Code 51 for bus passengers.
Use Codes 51-53 for occupants in the back of trucks including
the cargo area.
More than one person may have the same seating position,
e.g., child on mother's lap.
For motorcycles, code the driver 11, sidecar passenger 12,
passenger behind driver 21 and passenger on lap of driver (in
front of) 11.
In coupes and other cars designed for only two passengers in
front or in back, use codes 11, 13, 21, 23 when coding
occupants.
The codes for 'other' seats (i.e., 18, 28, 38, and 48) are
used for persons lying across the seat, for those occasions
where there are two or more people sitting in the middle,
etc.
Use code 55 for persons on the exterior who are set in motion
by the vehicle; e.g., skateboard riders who are in motion by
holding on to the vehicle, etc.
* These values are unlikely occurances and will raise an error
flag.

Remarks:
AVAILABILITY-
Please note that only a few passenger vehicles are equipped with
combination lap/shoulder belts in any seat but the front outboard
seating positions. These exceptions are listed in Table 1.
However, note that all cars since and including the 1974 model year have
combination lap/shoulder belts at the front outboard seating
If the occupant is using a manual lap belt and an automatic shoulder
belt, use code "2", lap belt. Do not use code "3", lap and shoulder
USE-
The coding scheme on some PAR's may offer a choice such as
"seatbelt/harness" or "lap/shoulder" but does not distinguish
between "lap belt"
Occasionally, information from EMS personnel or medical examiners
(M.E.) includes statement about manual restraint use or presence.
NOTE THE ARRIVAL TIMES OF POLICE AND EMS.
Rules of thumb in such cases are as follows unless you have information
to the contrary:
* If the M.E./EMS report that a restraint was used but the
PAR/Police report "NOT USED" or "UNKNOWN", then accept
the EMS/M.E. assesment.
* On the other hand, if the M.E./EMS report "NOT USED" but
the PAR/Police report that a restraint was used, then try
to verify the police assesment that a restraint was used.
* If the PAR/Police report that a restraint was used or was
not used but the EMS/M.E. report "UNKNOWN", then accept
the Police assesment.
Consistency Checks:
(V050) 1. If PERSON TYPE equals 1-2, 9 and MANUAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
equals 5, then BODY TYPE should equal 20-29.
(3M0F) 2. If PERSON TYPE equals 1, then MANUAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

Remarks:
These remarks refer to the front outboard seating positions only.
Below are two tables of vehicles. Table A - EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC
RESTRAINTS and Table B - POSSIBLY EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC RESTRAINTS.
If there is no indication of an automatic restraint, use code "0",
Not Equipped, unless the vehicle is in one of the two tables.
TABLE A:
All cars in this table have automatic restraints so that only
codes 1-4 apply.
If the occupant has available a manual lap belt and an automatic
shoulder belt, then code 1 or 2 must be used and MANUAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM must not be coded "3", lap and shoulder belt.
If the vehicle is in Table A and the PAR indicates that a belt was
used but does not specify automatic or manual, then do not use
AUTOMATIC RESTRAINT CODES "0" or "9". MANUAL RESTRAINT coding must
agree with the restraint available in the vehicle, not including
automatic systems (see remarks under MANUAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM).
TABLE B:
If the vehicle is in Table B and the PAR indicates that a belt was
used but does not specify automatic or manual, then code MANUAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM as the PAR indicates and code AUTOMATIC RESTRAINT
SYSTEM as "9", Unknown.
If MANUAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM is "9", Unknown, then AUTOMATIC RESTRAINT
SYSTEM should be coded "9", Unknown, unless the PAR indicates that
the vehicle is equipped with an automatic restraint.
NOTE:
All vehicles equipped with air bags in the 1980's also have manual
combination lap and shoulder belts.
Motorized automatic belts have very high usage rates.
* These values are unlikely occurances and will raise an error flag.

Remarks:
If no information is provided in the accident reports, assume
that EJECTION is not applicable.
Ejection refers to persons being completely thrown from a
compartment of the vehicle during the course of the crash and
includes occupants of Jeeps and Go Carts.
Ejection is not applicable to persons riding on the exterior
of a vehicle, to motorcycle occupants, or to nonmotorists.

Remarks:
If no information is provided in the accident reports, assume
that EXTRICATION is not applicable.
Extrication refers to the use of equipment or other force to
remove persons from the vehicles, i.e. more than just lifting
or carrying person out of wreckage. If the police officer
uses the word "extricated" to indicate occupant removal, then
this is sufficient information to code P27 as "1", even if no
mention of equipment is made. The only exception to this is
if the analyst knows the officer used the term "extrication"
incorrectly. However, if the officer uses the term "pinned"
or "wedged" or something similar, then the officer must
indicate that equipment was used to remove the occupant.
The unknown code (9) is to be used when the officer states
that the occupant is "pinned" or "wedged", etc., and suggests
that the occupant may have been removed with force, but does
not make it clear whether equipment was used or not.
This field is not applicable to motorcycle riders or to
nonmotorists.

Mathod of Alcohol Determination
METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION
(BY POLICE)
Format: 1 numeric
Element Values:
1 Evidential Test (breath, blood, urine)
2 Preliminary Breath Test (P8T)
3 Behavioral
4 Passive Alcohol Sensor (PAS)
5 Observed
8 Other (e.g., Saliva test)
9 Not Reported
Remarks:
This variable is coded for each person involved in the accident. The
purpose of this variable is to record the method by which the police
made the determination as to whether alcohol was involved or not. It
is used primarily when the Police Reported Alcohol Involvement
variable (P29) is coded as "0-No (Alcohol Not Involved)" or "1-Yes
(Alcohol Involved)."
Whenever P29 is coded 0 (alcohol not involved), try to find out how the
police knew this. When P29 is coded 1 (alcohol involved), try to
determine how the police knew this.
If P29 is coded as 8- Not Reported or 9- Unknown (Police Reported),
then P28 is coded as 9- Not Reported. If more than one method is used
by the police to determine alcohol involvement choose the method the
police refer to when they record their assessment. If more than one
method is used and they do not state which method was the basis for
their alcohol determination, code the highest ranking method used from
the hierarchy (the highest ranking is 1; the lowest is 5).
1 - Evidential Test (Breath, Blood, Urine)
This is coded if P29 is coded 0 or 1 and the police indicate that they
ordered an evidential test and their determination of alcohol involve-
ment was based on the results of that test.
An evidential test can be a breath test on a state-approved breath
test device, a blood test, or a urine test. No other tests are con-
sidered evidential.
The key in coding evidential test as the basis for the police alcohol
assessment is the ordering of the test by the police. A routine test
performed by a coroner or medical examiner that was not ordered by the
police is not considered as evidential for the purposes of the variable.
2- Preliminary Breath Test (PBT)
This is coded if P29 is 0 or 1 and the police indicate that alcohol
involvement was based upon the results of a preliminary breath test,
or PBT. Preliminary breath testing devices are not yet considered
evidential tests, but merely as tools for the police to help them
determine whether alcohol is present or not. Many PBTs only indicate
whether alcohol is present in the breath by pass (green) or fail (red)
lights. Other PBTs indicate the approximate BAC in numbers. Some
PBTs are of evidential quality in some States. But if the device was
used only as a preliminary test and not the evidential test, then this
value should be coded.
The key to coding this is the definite indication by the police that a
PBT was used and was the basis ( or the clinching evidence) that a
driver had been drinking or not.
3- Behavioral
This is coded if P29 is 0 or 1 and the police indicate that the basis
for that alcohol assessment was the behavior by the driver during a
field sobriety test.
-Examples of field sobriety tests include the gaze
nystagmus test, walking in a straight line, one
leg stand, etc.
Do not confuse "Behavioral" with "Observed" (5).
4- Passive Alcohol Sensor (PAS)
This is coded if P29 is 0 or 1 and the police indicate that alcohol
involvement was based upon the results of a passive alcohol sensor,
or "sniffer."
The PAS devices available and in use by police are devices that look
like flashlights and when held within 6 inches of the drivers mouth
will detect alcohol in the breath while the driver is talking. The
PAS is not considered an evidential test nor a PBT. It is not really
a test, but a detector or an extension of the police officer's senses.
The PAS devices are usually PASS/FAIL indicators with a red light
indicating alcohol on the breath.
The key to coding this attribute is the indication by the police that
a PAS was used and was the basis for coding 0-No or 1-Yes for police
reported alcohol involvement.
5- Observed
This is coded if P29 is 0 or 1 and the police indicate that the basis
for their alcohol assessment was some observation of the driver. Do Not
Confuse "Observed" with "Behavioral" (3). Examples of observations
would be:
- smelling alcohol on the driver's breath
- staggering, slurring of speech
- the driver admitting he had been drinking
- other observations described by the police that would
not be considered field sobriety tests
Be careful not to simply assume that this is the appropriate code
when some other method may have been used (e.g. breath test, PBT, PAS).
8- Other
This is coded if P29 is 0 or 1 and the police indicate that the basis
for alcohol determination was something other than the codes 1,2,3,4
and 5 described above.
Examples of "other" methods include:
- results of a saliva test
- results of other tissue tests
The key to coding this element is the description by the police of some
other method of alcohol determination that does not fall into codes 1-5.
See the paragraph below on Witness Statements.
9- Not Reported
This is coded if P29 is 8 or 9. It is also coded if P29 is 0 or 1 and
there is no indication in the police report or any other documents as
to how the police made the alcohol assessment.
See the paragraph below on Witness Statements.
Witness Statements
Witness Statements may or may not be used by the police to make a
determination of alcohol involvement. If the police did use witness
statements alone to make a determination of alcohol involvement, use
code 8- "Other".
If the police mention, but did not use witness statements and there
is no other indication of how a determination was made, use code 9-
"Not Reported".
There are instances when the police do not indicate in the P.A.R. whether
alcohol was involved or not, but they do mention that a test was given or
ordered.
Codes 1 - 8 are allowed to be used for METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION
(P28) when POLICE REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT (P29) is coded as 8-No
This should only happen when the method is stated by the police, but
the involvement is not mentioned at all or stated as unknown.
Consistency Checks:
(P117) 1. If METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION equals 1-5,8 then POLICE
REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT should equal 0,1.
(8S0P) 2. If METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION equals 9, then POLICE
REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT must equal 0,1,8 or 9.
(P118) 3. If POLICE REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT equals 8,9 then
METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION should equal 9.
Police Reported Alcohol Involvement
POLICE REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT
Format: 1 numeric
Element Values:
Blank
0 No (Alcohol Not Involved)
1 Yes (Alcohol Involved)
8 Not Reported
9 Unknown (Police Reported)
Remarks:
Only use the police accident report to code these elements.
Do not change the coding of this element because a positive
alcohol test is obtained. This element will be coded
independently from ALCOHOL TEST RESULTS.
Code 1 is used only if the police accident report explicitly
states or implies that alcohol was present.
If the police officer indicates that a pre-arrest breath test
was given and a "positive" indication was received, code P29
as "1". Anytime an officer's judgement contradicts a
pre-arrest test, the officer's judgement will be the
determining factor.
If there is no indication on the police accident report of
whether alcohol was present or not (e.g., alcohol field left
blank or no statements), use code 8.
Code 9 is used only if the police reported alcohol
involvement as unknown.
There are instances when the police do not indicate in the
P.A.R. whether alcohol was involved or not, but they do
mention that a test was given or ordered.
For example the police may only say that an evidential test was
ordered for a driver without indicating that they suspected
alcohol or water
Codes 1 - 8 are allowed to be used for METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION
(P28) when POLICE REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT (P29) is coded as 8-No
This should only happen when the method is stated by the police, but the
involvement is not mentioned at all or stated as unknown.
Consistency Checks:
(P070) 1. If POLICE REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT equals 1, then
ALCOHOL TEST RESULT should not equal 95-96.
(D090) 2. If VIOLATIONS CHARGED equals 1, 3 and PERSON TYPE equals
1, then POLICE REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT should equal 1.
(P117) 3. If METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION equals 1-5,8 then POLICE
REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT should equal 0,1.
(P118) 4. If METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION equals 9, then POLICE
REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT must equal 0,1,8 or 9.
(9S0P) 5. If POLICE REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT equals 8,9 then
METHOD OF ALCOHOL DETERMINATION should equal 9.

ALCOHOL TEST RESULT
Format: 2 numeric
Element Values:

95 Test Refused
96 None Given
97 AC Test Performed, Results Unknown
99 Unknown
Remarks:
Code the actual value BAC (i.e., if the BAC result is 0.00%,
then enter "00" as code). If the report does not state the
actual BAC, but does state that it is less than 0.01%, then
code this element as "00".
Code 97 refers to alcohol content tests that were performed
but the results are unknown.
For fatalities, no time constraints are placed on when the
alcohol test is taken.
For nonfatalities, no time constraints are placed on when the
alcohol test is taken but reasonability should be considered.
If BAC is not known, but:
a) if % alcohol from a urine sample is known, then
divide % alcohol by 1.3 in order to get BAC.
b) if % alcohol from Vitreous test is known, then divide
it by 1.12 to find equivalent BAC.
Any BAC test results reported to you in 3 decimal places should
be truncated, not rounded. For example, a reported
.099 becomes .09. The reason for truncating is that the
accuracy of most testing devices is only reliable to two decimal
places, so that the third decimal place is meaningless.
Consistency Checks:
(P080) 1. ALCOHOL TEST RESULT should not equal 41-94.
(P070) 2. If POLICE REPORTED ALCOHOL INVOLVEMENT equals 1, then
ALCOHOL TEST RESULT should not equal 95-96.
Drugs Noted in Toxicology Report
DRUGS NOTED IN TOXICOLOGY REPORT
(OTHER THAN ALCOHOL)
Format: 1 numeric
Element Values:
0 No blood test given
Blood Test Given, Results Known
1 No drugs reported
2 Drugs reported (excluding nicotine, aspirin)
3 Not tested for drugs
Blood Test Given, Results Unknown
7 Tested for drugs, results unknown
8 Unknown if tested for drugs
9 Unknown if blood test given
Remarks:
FIRST, determine if a blood test was given for any reason.
One sample of blood can be tested for alcohol as well as other
substances, or a separate sample may be tested for drugs other than
substances.
NEXT, determine if the blood was tested for drugs other than (or in
addition to) alcohol.
REFERS TO BLOOD TEST ONLY.
EXCLUDES ALCOHOL, NICOTINE and ASPIRIN.
0- No Blood Test Given
This is coded when it is known that no blood test was given
for this person for any reason.
This code cannot be used if it is known that blood was taken for a
BAC test.
1- No Drugs Reported
This is coded when a toxicology report is obtained by the FARS analyst
and no drugs other than alcohol.
Remember that code 1 means that testing for drugs was done and none were
detected.
If no drugs (other than the exclusions) are found in the blood, but some
drug(s) are reported in a urine test.
2- Drugs Reported
This is coded if any drugs other than alcohol, nicotine and aspirin are
reported in the toxicology report that were found in the blood sample.
Any drugs found in the urine or other body tissue do not qualify for
this code.
3- Not Tested for Drugs
This is coded if the toxicology report states that no drugs other than
alcohol, nicotine or aspirin were tested for in the blood sample.
A toxicology report, medical examiners report or coroners report must
be received and must state that no drugs were tested for in order for
this code to be used.
Code 3 can only be used if a blood test is given.
If the State does not test for drugs as a usual policy, the analyst
must determine if the appropriate code is 0, 3 or 9.
7 - Tested for Drugs, Results Unknown
This is coded if it is stated somewhere (e.g. the PAR, the tox report,
ME or coroners report, hospital report) that the person was tested for
drugs but the results are unavailable. This situation would most
likely occur if a hospital tested for drugs but would not release the
results to the FARS analyst for any reason (e.g., confidentiality).
8- Unknown if Tested for Drugs
This is coded if a toxicology report is received by the analyst, but
it is not clear if the blood sample taken was tested for drugs.
9- Unknown if Blood Test Given
This is coded if there is no information concerning whether a blood
sample was taken or it is stated by the police that it was unknown to
them whether the person was given a blood test.
This code cannot be used if it is known that blood was taken for a BAC
test.

Remarks:
Definition: D16.1, page 11.
Code 4 must only be used if the death occurred within thirty
24 hour time periods from the time of the accident. Every
effort should be made to determine that the DEATH DATE was
within thirty 24 hour time periods from the ACCIDENT TIME.
If a code of 4 has been submitted, it cannot be changed
without deleting the accident and resubmitting the case.
Code 6 refers to nonmotor vehicle fatalities that are
involved in an accident resulting in a motor vehicle
fatality, e.g., a heart attack victim that is involved in an
accident in which another person dies.
In suicide incidents, use the following criteria:
1. If the only fatality is the suicide victim and it
can be ascertained that the accident was a suicide,
do not code the case.
2. If other fatalities occur, code the case as
appropriate. The suicide victim's INJURY SEVERITY
should be coded 6 if the death occurred at the time
of the accident (or prior) or 0 if the death
occurred after the accident.
* This value is an unlikely occurance and will raise an edit flag.
