This volume is the first comprehensive account of drink-driving to be published in England. It breaks new ground not only in its detailed historical exposition and contemporary policy review but also by its radical and controversial conclusions on society?s ambivalent attitude to the drinking driver. The book assesses the effectiveness of the legal response in reducing drink-driving and presents a critique of recent developments which it is argued have failed to maximise the potential of current counter-measures stopping short of criminalizing the drink-driver.
