ETSC’s programme “Drink Driving Policy Network” aims to reduce alcohol-related road deaths and injuries through the identification and promotion of best practice in both policy and advocacy. This focus is aligned with one of the priorities of the EU Alcohol Strategy which is to reduce injuries and deaths from alcohol-related road traffic accidents. As part of the programme, a Compendium on Traffic Law enforcement aims to promote best practice in police enforcement across Europe. The core of this publication is the benchmarking of countries’ performance in the area of enforcement, but good practice examples from Member States are highlighted as well. In the area of driver behaviour, the following 3 “main killers” are covered: • Speed; • Non-use of seat belts; and • Drink driving. (Author/publisher)
