Following an increase in the number of females charged with drink driving during random breath testing operations on the New South Wales Central Coast, Wyong and Gosford Councils joined forces to find out more about the trend. The 'Females and Drink Driving Project' focused on females aged 18-39. The project sought to identify drink driving messages likely to impact on this group and to identify factors influencing female drink driving behaviour in the region. The paper will further explore the drink driving trend amongst females as well as the views of local females about the best way to prevent drink driving on the Central Coast. In addition to holding discussion groups with female volunteers, a comprehensive literature review and statistical analysis on drink driving, particularly in relation to females, was completed as part of the project.
