Abstract

This paper outlines the profile of known drink/drivers, and indicates how trends in alcohol related road accidents developed through the 1980s and early 1990s. Although the number of injury accidents involving drinking has fallen substantially over this period, it is nevertheless estimated that over twenty thousand road casualities still result annually in Great Britain from such behaviour; of these approximately seven hundred are fatal. Public attitudes to drink/driving and enforcement have also changed markedly since the early 1980s, and the findings of research designed to monitor these developments are presented. (A)
