Samenvatting

This is a study of the impact of the North Carolina Safe Roads Act (SRA) of 1983. The law made dramatic revisions to the drunk driving law including raising the drinking age, short-term license revocation at the time of arrest, mandatory jail sanctions, elimination of plea bargaining and more uniformity in sanctioning. Findings indicate that the new law with its attendant publicity seems to have resulted in a reduction in alcohol-related (A/R) crashes in North Carolina. Likewise, findings suggest that the public perceives a greater risk of arrest.
