Abstract

Drinking drivers and sober controls stopped during a roadside survey in East and West Germany (1992-1994) were subsequently interviewed on the phone (n=2368). The interview covered alcohol consumption, attitudes towards DUI and factors of deterrence. Drunk driving could be predicted more from factors of individual moral commitment than from deterrence. Attitudes differed between East and West Germans. After raising the legal BAC limit in East Germany changes in attitudes and self-reported behavior were observed.
