Considering that female respondents in our cohort were much more likely to report never drinking at all (39.0% compared to 10% of males), and those that did drink alcohol were much less likely to drink drive than male drivers, it appears that drink driving countermeasures should be targeted heavily towards male drivers.
The effectiveness of drink driving countermeasures (such as sanctions) to deter motorists from driving over the legal limit is extremely important when considering the impact the offending behavior has on the community.
347, related to alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures.
The alcohol abuse prevention programs as developed, focus on one of more of the strategies of the WHO: reducing the availability of alcohol, alcohol prices and taxes, restricting the sale of alcohol, restrictions on alcohol marketing, drink-driving countermeasures, education and persuasion [ 2, 5].
The proposed model provides an effective alternative approach for investigating aberrant driving behaviors; corresponding countermeasures are discussed.
This paper presents a simulator-based study that was designed to test the impact of the pavement marking countermeasure on driving behaviors, including driver's stop/go decision, red-light running violation, brake response time, and deceleration rate of the stopping vehicle.
Also, "from the practical point of view, there seem to be some countermeasures, such as driving with windows open, solar screens on the side windows, etc., that can be applied by drivers to deceive the system," the researchers wrote in their study's conclusion.
Based on the analysis of these results, implications of cell phone use on driving safety along with some safety countermeasures, such as selective bans and non-cell phone zones, are discussed in the paper.
This last one uses observation in a natural setting, typically to evaluate the relationship between driver-, vehicle-, or environment factors and crash risk, driving behaviour, and the effectiveness of countermeasures [8].
This paper discusses the so-called 'older driver problem', presents crash data and evidence of the impacts of driving location and reduced fitness to drive on crash risk, and recommends countermeasures within the 'Safe System' context, with particular reference to urban road design and operation.
Alcohol ignition interlock is a relatively new countermeasure to reduce alcohol-impaired driving.
