drinking and driving -
conclusions Drinking and driving is a huge problem
47% of the surveyed alcohol users drove a vehicle under the influence of alcohol
Nearly one fifth (18.5%) sustained or was involved in a RTI / crash
Majority of the alcohol users (78%) suffered the consequence of drinking and driving (injury or hospitalization)
Alcohol users are twice at risk to be involved in an accident with another alcohol user.
Greater numbers (78% alcohol users and 60% non users) frequently travelled with a person under the influence of alcohol
Two-thirds were uninformed about the hazards and risks associated with drinking and driving
Drinking and driving is hazardous One-third had ignored all traffic rules
Two-third acknowledged that their ability to drive has reduced.

What works for control of RTIs
Enforcement of helmet – drink drive – seat belt – speed control
laws.
Engineering for pedestrian safety in terms of footpaths, crossing places
, speed control mechanisms
Increasing visibility
Education to support enforcement and engineering
Emergency and trauma care strengthening
Strengthening public transportation
Improved vehicle safety
Need for a lead regulatory agency
Capacity building of all concerned agencies and departments
