abstract="The present study examines the long-term effects of an individual short-term driver improvement course. Approximately five years after the end of the course, former participants answered a questionnaire regarding their current coping with alcohol and their drinking and driving behaviour. Their answers were compared with their intentions immediately after the course as well as with the corresponding specifications in the course documentation. The main question of the present study was to what extent there had been long-term changes in their drinking habits and their behaviour in road traffic resulting from the driver improvement course. The results show that the drinking habits of the large majority of the former participants had remained as stable as previously intended, i.e. they are still totally abstinent or control their drinking habits according to their former intentions. Moreover, most of the former participants are currently able to separate drinking from driving. The participants indicated that, to date, they are in possession of their valid driving licence.<p />",
