Road Traffic Bill 2003: Second and Subsequent Stages.

 

The report identified that driver error is the cause of approximately 85% of accidents compared to just 10% of accidents which result from misadventure by pedestrians. Clearly, driver behaviour causes most accidents. While it did not go into the details of identifying what percentage of these accidents were directly attributable to drunken driving it did make a stab at indicating that many of the accidents were as a result of it.
