Abstract

This paper presents results from a telephone questionnaire survey of drivers on the topic of drink-driving conducted in June 1994. A sample of 500 male and 500 female drivers who drink alcohol were interviewed across NSW. The aims of the survey are to assess current drink-driving issues and to help provide direction for countermeasure development. The survey examines factors which influence drink-diving decisions; self-reported drink-driving behaviour; and the shift towards "general prevention" of drink-driving. Multivariate analysis is used to develop a typology of drinks. A number of groups are confirmed, which include drivers self-motivated to comply with the laws and drivers currently deterred by countermeasure activity but who hold inappropriate attitudes to maintain compliance.
