Title: DECLINE IN DRINKING AND DRIVING IN SWEDEN
Accession Number: 00647313
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Sweden has a very high level of road safety in an international comparison, but, of course, wants the level to be even higher. The government has set the road safety goals for the year 2000 - the number of fatalities and injuries on the road should decrease by 20% in comparison with the 1988 level. This is a very tough task when you are already very good and have applied most of the readily available and acceptable measures. The same thing applies to alcohol related crashes - Sweden has been very successful over the years. During the years 1989 through 1992 the proportion of drivers who were alcohol positive in fatal accidents were as follows: 31% in 1989, 29.7% in 1990, 29.9% in 1991, and 23.9% in 1992. In 1990, the legal BAC limit was lowered from .05 to .02%. Sweden has designated alcohol, drugs, and road safety as one of eight areas which will be given priority until the year 2000.
