Random breath testing in Queensland and Western Australia: examination of how the random breath testing rate influences alcohol related traffic crash rates.
In this paper we explore the relationship between monthly random breath testing (RBT) rates (per 1000 licensed drivers) and alcohol-related traffic crash (ARTC) rates over time, across two Australian states: Queensland and Western Australia. We analyse the RBT, ARTC and licensed driver rates across 12 years; however, due to administrative restrictions, we model ARTC rates against RBT rates for ...
متن کاملBest practice in random breath testing and cost-effective intensity levels
Background Random breath testing (RBT) aimed at general deterrence of drink-driving has been shown to be more effective than targeted alcohol screening from patrol cars aimed at apprehending drink-drivers. The European PEPPER study’s meta-analysis of 40 evaluations found that the largest crash reductions were achieved by Australian methods of RBT (involving use of highvisibility bus-based testi...

متن کاملEffectiveness of Sobriety Checkpoints for Reducing Alcohol-Involved Crashes
The goal of sobriety checkpoints is to deter drinking and driving by systematically stopping drivers for assessment of alcohol impairment, thus increasing the perceived risk of arrest for alcohol-impaired driving. This review examines the effectiveness of random breath testing (RBT) checkpoints, at which all drivers stopped are given breath tests for blood alcohol levels, and selective breath t...
متن کاملThe effects of random breath testing and lowering the minimum legal drinking age on traffic fatalities in Australian states.
OBJECTIVE This study aims to apply time series analysis techniques to examine the effects of random breath testing (RBT) on three age-specific traffic fatalities in four Australian states while considering the effects of lowering the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA). METHODS Long-term time series of age-specific traffic crash deaths in four Australian states were used to analyse the impact o...
