In 2021, 391 Canadians were killed in a road crash that involved a drunk driver, the lowest number in the provided time interval. The number of people killed in road crashes due to drunk driving has, in general, declined from 1996 to 2021. This statistic illustrates the number of people killed in road crashes that involved drunk driving in Canada from 1996 to 2021.

In 2021, more than one out of four Canadians killed in a road accident were involved in a crash with a drunk driver, a significant decrease from the previous year. This statistic illustrates the share of people killed in road crashes that involved drinking drivers in Canada from 1996 to 2021.

In 2022, Texas was the state recording the highest volume of fatalities resulting from alcohol-impaired driving at 1,869 number of fatalities, followed by California, which reported around 1,479 fatalities from drunk driving. These two states alone, out of 51, account for nearly a quarter of the total fatalities incurred by alcohol-impaired driving. The Golden state amounted for the largest share of motor vehicle registrations in the country in 2021.

After falling from 2011 to 2015, the number of people in Denmark who were caught driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs increased, peaking at over 17,000 cases in 2020. This was the highest reported number in the period between 2007 and 2021. The number of reported cases fell slightly in 2021, dropping to 16,700. Of these, 1,800 resulted in a traffic accident. In Denmark, driving under the influence of alcohol with a permille of 0.5 or more is illegal.

In 2021, Ontario and British Columbia were the provinces that had the largest number of alcohol-related federal impaired driving charges in Canada, at approximately 12.3 and 11.1 thousand respectively. They were followed by Québec and Alberta, both of which had more than seven thousand federal impaired driving charges.

NOTE: this preregistration replaces the preregistration entitled "Prospective prediction of driving under the influence of alcohol using the Implicit Association Test" created on October 9th, 2020. In the previous preregistration, we forgot to include certain exploratory analyses (i.e., analyses if IAT order - aIAT or beliefs IAT first - moderates the effects). Nothing else was changed in the pre-registration documents. This registration was created before data collection. Data collection was postponed due to Covid-19. Data collection for the prescreening study will start on May 31st, 2021.

In the current study, we will examine the effectiveness of two newly developed implicit measures for predicting self-reported driving under the influence of alcohol behavior (DUIA behavior). Specifically, we will examine the predictive utility of two versions of the implicit association test (aIAT: Sartori, Agosta, Zogmaister, Ferrara & Castiello, 2008): one version that includes statements about past DUIA behavior (the autobiographical IAT) and that has shown value in predicting (self-reported) past DUIA behavior (see, https://osf.io/b7wur/) and a newly developed IAT that includes belief statements regarding DUIA (beliefs IAT). The goals of the current study are to examine (a) whether our previous study results can be replicated and (b) whether the autobiographical IAT (aIAT) and beliefs IAT show utility in the prediction of prospective DUIA behavior.

In 2021, there were approximately 47 thousand alcohol-related federal impaired driving charges in Canada. Overall, this was the year with the least number of alcohol-related charges over the past ten years. In 2011, the number of charges resulting from drunk driving was approximately 72 thousand, however, it decreased steadily since then.

In 2021, Saskatchewan and British Columbia were the provinces that had the largest rate of provincial short-term alcohol-related license suspensions and federal impaired driving charges in Canada, at 345 and 332 per 100 thousand residents respectively. Meanwhile, Québec had the lowest rate, at 93 per 100,000.

The Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (formerly known as the ONS Opinions Survey or Omnibus) is an omnibus survey that began in 1990, collecting data on a range of subjects commissioned by both the ONS internally and external clients (limited to other government departments, charities, non-profit organisations and academia).

Data are collected from one individual aged 16 or over, selected from each sampled private household. Personal data include data on the individual, their family, address, household, income and education, plus responses and opinions on a variety of subjects within commissioned modules.

See Opinions and Lifestyle Survey: Secure Access for details.

Main Topics:
Each month's questionnaire consists of two elements: core questions, covering demographic information, are asked each month together with non-core questions that vary from month to month.
The non-core questions for this month were:

Drinking (Module 192): this module was asked on behalf of the Department of Health. The data file for this module contains merged data for February and March 2002.
Tobacco consumption (Module 210): this module was asked on behalf of Customs and Excise to help them estimate the amount of tobacco consumed as cigarettes.
Drink driving (Module 303): this module was asked on behalf of researchers in the Alcohol Research Unit at the Home Office. The module was split into two sections. The first set of questions asked for the respondent's perceptions and attitudes towards drinking and driving. The second set of questions were for self-completion by the respondent and covered actual drinking and driving behaviour of drivers only.
Family change (Module 123): this module was asked on behalf of the Population and Demography Division of ONS and asked about different kinds of families people have lived in, up to their 16th birthday.
Pensions (Module 307): this module, on pensions for saving and retirement, was asked on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.

Between 2017 and 2022, the number of reported cases of people driving under the influence of drugs was higher each year than people driving under the influence of alcohol in Sweden. Moreover, whereas the number of people reported driving under the influence of alcohol was between 11,000 and 12,000 from 2017 to 2019, it was below 10,000 the following years. In 2022, 12,000 cases of people driving under the influence of drugs were reported.

Raw outcome data aggregated across the study period (January 2021 –December 2022) and modelled estimates for the first, middle, and last months in the time series.

In 2021, there were 171 short-term alcohol-related license suspensions and federal impaired driving charges per 100 thousand residents in Canada. Together with 2020, this was one of the years with the lowest rate of alcohol-related suspensions and charges over the past ten years. In 2011, the rate of license suspensions and federal impaired charges resulting from drunk driving was 316 per 100,000.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) asks a sole adult in a random sample of households about their, or their household's, experience of crime victimisation in the previous 12 months. These are recorded in the victim form data file (VF). A wide range of questions are then asked, covering demographics and crime-related subjects such as attitudes to the police and the criminal justice system (CJS). These variables are contained within the non-victim form (NVF) data file. In 2009, the survey was extended to children aged 10-15 years old; one resident of that age range was also selected from the household and asked about their experience of crime and other related topics. The first set of children's data covered January-December 2009 and is held separately under SN 6601. From 2009-2010, the children's data cover the same period as the adult data and are included with the main study.The Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW) became operational on 20 May 2020. It was a replacement for the face-to-face CSEW, which was suspended on 17 March 2020 because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It was set up with the intention of measuring the level of crime during the pandemic. As the pandemic continued throughout the 2020/21 survey year, questions have been raised as to whether the year ending March 2021 TCSEW is comparable with estimates produced in earlier years by the face-to-face CSEW. The ONS Comparability between the Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales and the face-to-face Crime Survey for England and Wales report explores those factors that may have a bearing on the comparability of estimates between the TCSEW and the former CSEW. These include survey design, sample design, questionnaire changes and modal changes.More general information about the CSEW may be found on the ONS Crime Survey for England and Wales web page and for the previous BCS, from the GOV.UK BCS Methodology web page.History - the British Crime SurveyThe CSEW was formerly known as the British Crime Survey (BCS), and has been in existence since 1981. The 1982 and 1988 BCS waves were also conducted in Scotland (data held separately under SNs 4368 and 4599). Since 1993, separate Scottish Crime and Justice Surveys have been conducted. Up to 2001, the BCS was conducted biennially. From April 2001, the Office for National Statistics took over the survey and it became the CSEW. Interviewing was then carried out continually and reported on in financial year cycles. The crime reference period was altered to accommodate this. Secure Access CSEW dataIn addition to the main survey, a series of questions covering drinking behaviour, drug use, self-offending, gangs and personal security, and intimate personal violence (IPV) (including stalking and sexual victimisation) are asked of adults via a laptop-based self-completion module (questions may vary over the years). Children aged 10-15 years also complete a separate self-completion questionnaire. The questionnaires are included in the main documentation, but the data are only available under Secure Access conditions (see SN 7280), not with the main study. In addition, from 2011 onwards, lower-level geographic variables are also available under Secure Access conditions (see SN 7311).New methodology for capping the number of incidents from 2017-18The CSEW datasets available from 2017-18 onwards are based on a new methodology of capping the number of incidents at the 98th percentile. Incidence variables names have remained consistent with previously supplied data but due to the fact they are based on the new 98th percentile cap, and old datasets are not, comparability has been lost with years prior to 2012-2013. More information can be found in the 2017-18 User Guide (see SN 8464) and the article ‘Improving victimisation estimates derived from the Crime Survey for England and Wales’. CSEW Historic back series – dataset update (March 2022)From January 2019, all releases of crime statistics using CSEW data adopted a new methodology for measuring repeat victimisation (moving from a cap of 5 in the number of repeat incidents to tracking the 98th percentile value for major crime types). To maintain a consistent approach across historic data, all datasets back to 2001 have been revised to the new methodology. The change affects all incident data and related fields. A “bolt-on” version of the data has been created for the 2001/02 to 2011/12 datasets. This “bolt-on” dataset contains only variables previously supplied impacted by the change in methodology. These datasets can be merged onto the existing BCS NVF and VF datasets. A template ‘merge’ SPSS syntax file is provided, which will need to be adapted for other software formats.For the sixth edition (March 2022), “bolt-on” datasets for the NVF and VF files, example merge syntax and additional documentation have been added to the study to accommodate the latest CSEW repeat victimisation measurement methodology. See the documentation for further details. Main Topics: The dataset includes information from two sections of the survey, the non-victim form questionnaire and the victim form questionnaire. The non-victim form questionnaire gathers respondent-level data: topics covered include fear of crime; perception of local area; local crime rates; victimisation screener questions; experiences of the police; attitudes to the CJS; crime prevention and security; witnessing crime; technology crime; the night-time economy and alcohol disorder; identity fraud; experiences of antisocial behaviour; crime and disorder in town centres and high streets; demographic information. The victim form contains offence-level data. Up to six different incidents are asked about for each respondent. Each of these constitutes a separate victim form and can be matched back to the respondent-level data through the variable ROWLABEL. Topics covered include the nature and circumstances of the incident, details of offenders, security measures, costs, emotional reactions, contact with the CJS and outcomes where known. From October 2016, the self-completion questionnaire modules covering drug use, drinking behaviour, and domestic violence, sexual victimisation and stalking are subject to Controlled data access conditions - see SN 7280.

The highest number of alcohol-related deaths in Denmark in the time from 2009 to 2021 was recorded in 2009, with 75 alcohol-related deaths. Since then the yearly number overall decreased, and reached 29 deaths in 2021. The majority of the deceased were male.

The number of drunk driving offenses recorded by the police in Finland fluctuated over the period from 1960 to 2023. In 2023, approximately 15,900 drunken driving offenses were recorded. This was a decrease of roughly 209 from the previous year.

The clearance rate of recorded drunken driving offenses fluctuated between 96 and almost 100 percent in Finland from 2013 to 2021. In 2020, the clearance rate of drunken driving cases stood at 99.6 percent, which was the highest figure in the shown period.

Motor-vehicle deaths in the United States have decreased greatly since the 1970s and 1980s. In 2022, there were around 13.8 deaths from motor vehicles per 100,000 population, compared to a rate of 26.8 deaths per 100,000 in 1970. Laws requiring drivers and passengers to wear safety belts and advancements in safety technology in vehicles are major drivers for these reductions.

Motor-vehicle accidents in the U.S.

Americans spend a significant amount of time behind the wheel. Many cities lack convenient and reliable public transportation and especially in rural areas, cars are a necessary means of transportation. In 2020, August was the month with the highest number of fatal crashes, followed by September and June. The deadliest time of day for fatal vehicle crashes is between 6 and 9 p.m., most likely due to the after-work rush hour and more people who are under the influence of alcohol.

Drinking and driving among youth

Drinking and driving remains a relevant problem across the United States and can be especially problematic among younger inexperienced drivers. As of 2017, around 5.5 percent of high school students reported they had driven while under the influence of alcohol. Drinking and driving is more common among males than females and Hispanic males reported drinking and driving more than other races or ethnicities.

New Hampshire is currently the state with the highest per capita alcohol consumption in the United States. Per capita alcohol consumption has increased since the mid-1990s, with beer as the most commonly consumed alcoholic beverage. The beer market in the U.S. was estimated to amount to over 145 billion dollars by 2027. Binge drinking Although New Hampshire consumes the highest amount of alcohol per capita, it reports lower rates of binge drinking than other states. The states with the highest binge drinking rates include the District of Columbia, North Dakota, and Montana. Binge drinking is typically defined as the consumption of 5 or more drinks within 2 hours for men and 4 or more drinks within 2 hours for women. Binge drinking is the most common form of excessive alcohol use and is associated with serious risks. Binge drinking risks Health risks associated with binge drinking include cancer, chronic diseases such as liver disease and heart disease, alcohol dependence, and unintentional injury such as from car crashes. Although the dangers of drinking and driving are clear, it remains a problem across the United States. In 2022, around 8.5 percent of those aged 21 to 25 reported driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol in the preceding year.
