Abstract

This paper is an update of the paper presented at T'97. Trends in the percentage of fatally-injured drivers with BACs in excess of 0.8g/L and the estimated number of serious casualties involving such BACs both indicate that the pronounced decline of the 1980s finally ended in the mid 1990s. Since then, there has been little change. A Government Consultation Paper issued in 1998 proposed a package of measures included a lowering of the legal limit to 0.5g/L. The report of a Select Committee of the House of Lords in the same year reached similar conclusions but placed somewhat more emphasis on the treatment of convicted drivers with high BACs. New Government proposals on drink driving are expected in early 2000.
