      <title>Staysafe 19: from the Joint Standing Committee on Road Safety: alcohol and other drugs on New South Wales roads; 1: The problem and countermeasures</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1201033</link>
      <description><![CDATA[STAYSAFE has reviewed the extent to which drink-driving and drug-driving pose a road safety risk in New South Wales, and has reviewed the countermeasures that have been taken to address the road safety problems posed by alcohol and other drugs.  Driving while affected by alcohol is a major road safety problem in New South Wales. STAYSAFE is satisfied that the introduction of random breath testing for the presence of alcohol in 1982 was associated with a significant decrease in the incidence of drink-driving.  However, STAYSAFE is uncertain if random breath testing continues to be used in an manner that maximises its effectiveness as a drink-driving countermeasure, despite the maintenance of a high number of random breath tests being administered by police annually.  STAYSAFE has identified a need to re-assess the policies and procedures underlying the management and operation of the random breath testing program. STAYSAFE is also concerned about a lack of coordination of drink-driving countermeasures.  STAYSAFE has noted a need to develop long term advertising and public relations policies and strategies that address the different facets of drink-driving. Overall, STAYSAFE has concluded that drink-driving research and policy in New South Wales is in need of substantial review. STAYSAFE has found that the extent of drug-driving in New South Wales, and the problem posed by drug-driving, remains unknown. STAYSAFE notes the expenditure of almost $0.6 million of road safety research' funds since 1985 with the specific purpose of establishing the nature of the drug-driving problem.  STAYSAFE has been particularly concerned with the failure to report the results, to date, of this drug-driving research program, and has requested that the Office of Public Management of the Premier's Department investigate the circumstances surrounding the management of the program by the Roads and Traffic Authority. STAYSAFE has found that, as a result of the difficulties in establishing the nature of drug-driving in New South Wales, the development of countermeasures to drug-driving have been few and fragmented.  STAYSAFE has indicated its concern with the need to ensure effective coordination of drug-driving research activities and countermeasure strategies.]]></description>

      <title>Attitudes to drink-driving: roadside surveys 1987-1989</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1200048</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The police random breath testing (RBT) program in South Australia was increased markedly at Easter in 1987.  This was accompanied by an intense public education program.  The increased level of RBT was maintained thereafter but the level of publicity declined although there was a temporary increase at Easter in 1989.  The effects on night-time driver blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) and attitudes to drink-driving were assessed by roadside surveys in metropolitan Adelaide in 1987 and 1989. Altogether 14,000 drivers were surveyed and reported attitudes were obtained for 40 per cent of drivers in 1987 and 33 per cent in 1989. There was a marked decline in drink-driving over Easter in both years but the 1987 decline was not sustained well. Changes in attitudes over the Easter periods were small and inconsistent. However, between 1987 and 1989 there was a statistically significant increase in driver perception of being caught if driving with a BAC above 0.08. Drivers most likely to drive if they thought that their BAC was above 0.08 were predominantly male, aged less than 30 years, had started driving and drinking before the age of 18 years, and were likely to drink alcohol daily and to have been charged with drink-driving offences (A).]]></description>

      <title>Public attitudes toward alcohol-impaired driving and speed</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1200047</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Ministry of Transport has, since 1974, periodically evaluated public attitudes toward alcohol-impaired driving and other road safety issues. This survey repeated the core items from previous surveys and added extra terms relating to speed.  A long term trend in the hardening of attitudes toward alcohol-impaired driving was confirmed in this survey.  The public would support additional intensive enforcement action in their community against the alcohol-impaired driver.  It was concluded that the public would also support a move toward random breath testing.  Seventy-five per cent of respondents wanted the open speed limit to remain at 100 km/h, the same as in the previous (1985) survey.  However, there was an increase in the numbers wanting it raised.  A significant increase in those wanting greater tolerance applied to the enforcement of the open road speed limit was found.  The new demerit points regime for speeding was either acceptable, or not severe enough to 80 per cent of respondents.  About 60 per cent of persons want the minimum driving age raised to 17 years or more.  There has been no change since the previous study (A).]]></description>

      <title>The influence of alcohol countermeasures in changing drink driving attitudes</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1186242</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Action to reduce the Australian road death toll has largely depended on legislative initiatives.  The response can be judged by the reduction in the annual number of fatalities from 3,798 in 1970 to 2,812 in 1984.  A significant component of road accident countermeasures concerns the control of illegal drink driving.  Alcohol misuse remains the single most important factor contributing to road crash deaths and injuries in a country where solid drinking by the majority of the community is normal behaviour.  In Australia, the effectiveness of drink driving control has depended on the development of a package of countermeasures, which includes a blood alcohol legal limit of 0.05 G per cent in all but two states, compulsory blood alcohol testing of casualties, random breath testing and heavy penalties. The effectiveness of these measures in changing drinking habits and attitudes to drink driving is reflected statistically by the reduction in the national percentage of drivers and riders killed with an illegal blood alcohol concentration from 44 per cent in 1981 to 36 per cent in 1984.  In the 1970-84 period there was a fall in all fatalities per 10,000 registered vehicles from 8.5 To 2.9.  In the state of Victoria, there was a fall in alcohol affected casualties from 39 per cent in 1977 to 25 per cent in 1984.]]></description>

      <title>PUBLIC ATTITUDES TO RANDOM BREATH TESTING: AN AUSTRALIA WIDE REVIEW</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/269176</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Some 25 surveys of public attitudes to random breath testing (RBT) have been conducted on an Australia-wide basis since 1972 by both Morgan Gallop polls and Australian public opinion polls and by various state organisations in New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, the Northern Territory and South Australia.  The Australia-wide polls indicate that public support for RBT declined between 1972 and 1976 but, since that time, (which coincides with the first introduction of RBT in Australia) support has steadily increased.  Australia-wide polls also indicate that the majority of the public now support RBT.  Recent surveys indicate that over 80 per cent of the population favour RBT operations.  More females than males support the operation of RBT, whilst support varies amongst the various age groups with the 16 to 24-year-old age group showing the lowest support for RBT.  Public support for RBT is strongest in Victoria (the first state to introduce RBT operations) and New South Wales.  However, RBT operations are now supported by the majority of the public in all states and territories, including those that do not currently have RBT operating. Limited evidence suggests that support for RBT may not be significantly different between city and  country residents. (Author/TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>FEMALES AND DRINK DRIVING: THE CENTRAL COAST OF NEW SOUTH WALES EXPERIENCE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/664567</link>
      <description><![CDATA[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.
