Online education for drink drivers

Drink driving is a significant cause of serious road causalities in Queensland, contributing to one in every five lives lost on the state's roads. To combat this problem, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) introduced the Plan.Drive.Survive.Foundations program in September 2021. All first-time drink driving offenders are required to complete the program prior to being relicensed. The program is an evidence-based intervention designed to influence behaviour change and encourage separation of drinking from driving. The program aims to educate participants on the dangers of drink driving, challenge any beliefs they may have that support drink driving, and help them create a plan to avoid drink driving in the future. This research aims to provide insights into program participants, the experiences of drink drivers who have completed the program, as well as the strategies and plans they have developed to avoid drink driving in the future.
