Abstract

The State of Victoria, Australia has significantly reduced the overall road toll and the contribution of drinking drivers by a combination of counter-measures. In the three years to June 1992 road deaths were reduced by an average 53%. Over twenty years this is a reduction from 80 deaths to 17 per 100,000 registered vehicles, or from 31 to 13 per 100,000 population, giving Victoria the lowest death rate per vehicle in the developed world. Random Breath Testing is widespread and results in 1.2 million tests per year. Introduction of automated speed detection equipment has led to a reduction of average road speeds.
