Both the 1982 and 1984 British Crime Surveys included questions about drinking and driving. These findings have been used to show that ‐for a significant minority of drivers ‐manipulating drink‐driving laws and their enforcement probably represents an ineffective crime control strategy. The deterrent impact of legal sanctions is likely to be blunted by drivers'failure to recognise that they are committing an offence, by their failure to regard the offence in a serious light or by their limited understanding of the severity of legal penalties. Moreover, the difficulties of sustaining reductions in drink‐driving in response to perceived increases in enforcement suggest that a broader‐based approach to the problem posed by drinking drivers needs to be identified. The final section of the paper puts forward a number of initiatives which could have some long‐term effect on the incidence of offending
