Samenvatting
This fact sheet summarizes national results from The Road Safety Monitor (RSM), 2008 on drinking and driving in Canada. The RSM is an annual public opinion survey conducted by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) under sponsorship from Transport Canada and the Brewers Association of Canada. The survey takes the pulse of the nation on key road safety issues by means of a telephone survey of a random, representative sample of Canadian drivers. Regional results on drinking and driving across the country are contained in a companion series of fact sheets. Overall, national and regional results did not differ significantly and the emerging trends in each of the regions are comparable to national trends. (Author/publisher)
