Drinking and driving: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners

The good practice manual Drinking and driving: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners, proposes simple, effective and low-cost solutions to prevent drinking and driving that can be implemented on a national or local level. It targets governments, non-governmental organizations and road safety practitioners, particularly those in low and middle-income countries.

The manual draws on experience from countries that have succeeded in reducing drinking and driving and includes guidance on the following:

• The background evidence to start a drinking and driving programme,
• The steps needed to undertake a problem assessment in a country,
• How to plan and implement a programme, including setting up a working group, developing a plan, examples of laws and enforcement, how to develop public education and publicity campaigns, and finally how to evaluate the programme.
