Abstract

Random Breath Testing (RBT) is a road safety strategy that aims to deter motorists from driving after drinking too much alcohol and thereby assists in reducing drink driving related crashes (Homel, 1988). RBT involves randomly selecting driving to blow into a breathanalyser for an alcohol reading. RBT was first introduced in Western Australia (W.A.) on October 1, 1988 for a trial period of 18 months. Subsequency to the introduction, RBT was trialed and evaluated by the Traffic Board of Western Australia. As a result the Traffic Board's recommendations (see TBWA, 1989), RBT legislation was made permanent in W.A. The legislation required an annual review of RBT to be presented to Parliament. This present study is the fourth year review of RBT.
