The 'driving under the influence of alcohol'behavioural study 2012 constitutes the fifth edition of this survey since 2003. As in previous editions, it was performed with the cooperation of local and federal police. The locations and times selected by the BRSI (IBSR/BIVV) for carrying out checks, and the random way in which drivers were checked, guarantee that the results are representative of all motorists and van drivers in Belgium. The 2012 survey does not reveal any significant improvement compared with previous editions. The overall rate for driving under the influence (DUI) comes to 2.4% and the number of people with a blood alcohol level in excess of 0.35 mg/l BAC) represents 59% of the total number of drivers under the influence of alcohol.
