چکیده

The research findings suggest that while an overwhelming majority of Victorians consider driving with a BAC of 0.1% to be unacceptable, less than two-thirds consider that exceeding the speed limit by 10km/h is socially unacceptable. Around three-quarters of Victorians consider illegal driving behaviour to be unacceptable and behave accordingly. The remainder can be grouped into those who hold tolerant views towards illegal driving behaviours while personally exhibiting these behaviours, and those who consider the behaviours unacceptable yet still engage in them. The present report examines these and additional research findings from the first two annual waves of the survey.
