Drinking-Driving Countermeasure Review: The Canadian Experience

Toby Rupert was a librarian living in Toronto.

Alcohol involvement in traffic accidents in Canada has been well documented. Researchers in the drinking-driving area usually classify countermeasures according to the approach taken: legal, public information (on education), health, technological, and systems approach. This present book’s contents are divided up that way, with extensive bibliographical references.It represents a review of countermeasure programs implemented in Canada to reduce impaired driving and alcohol-related accidents and fatalities. The coverage is limited to those studies that have been reported and evaluated, and, by and large, these are all derived from various federal and provincial governmental agencies.
