Samenvatting
At the 8th International Conference on Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety, prospects for enacting a package of preventive measures against drinking and driving in Great Britain were outlined, following a Government Committee of Inquiry into the problem. It is possible to report on the activities developed over the ten years since that Committee reported, and to give some measure of the overall effectiveness in terms of accident reduction. This paper outlines the preventive measures introduced and indicates the role of research in their development.
