Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are the leading cause of mortality in adolescents and young adults in all regions of the world and rank among the top five causes of death (Feachem et al. 1992; World Bank 1993). Traffic-related fatality accounts for 10% of all deaths in the 5-44 year age group in developing countries and is increasingly becoming an important public health problem (Downing et al. 1991). In Kenya, deaths from RTAs increased by 43% over the last 10 years, and alcohol is suspected to be an important contributing factor. There are, however, no specific drink driving countermeasures or legislation setting a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers, and the prevalence of drinking and driving is unknown.
