Abstract

The study investigated why drunk driving in the United States has not decreased recently and offers recommendations on what can be done to make further gains. Analyses of traffic crash and roadside survey data, a review of drunk driving research, and interviews with experts from many disciplines all revealed that drunk drivers are not consistently arrested, regularly convicted, or appropriately punished. The study identified problems at each stage of the drunk driving control system. It recommends both specific actions to address these problems and overall strategies to provide the information, management, and resources needed to implement these actions.
