Abstract:
Victoria has a highly
successful alcohol impaired driver enforcement program. To enhance
the program, information is required on the profile of a drink driver
so that strategies can be planned to further reduce the incidence
of drink driving.
This paper uses data
collected from all evidential breath tests conducted in the State
of Victoria from the 1st February 1999 to the 31st December 2000.
The data used in the paper is collected on a computer data base
known as Licensed Premises Identification System (LPIS) where details
of every evidential breath test conducted in the State is recorded.
As well as providing
information on Licensed Premises where drivers have been drinking
prior to interception, the program also provided police with information
about the profile of a drink driver. This information includes age,
sex and occupation as well as other information such as the type
of alcohol consumed.
Details of drink driving
prior convictions are also recorded on the system and valuable information
is now available on recidivism. This paper compares 1999 and 2000
data as well a providing a breakdown of the data into Melbourne
metropolitan and the rest of the State of Victoria for comparison.
