PUBLIC ATTITUDES TOWARD TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT

Paul M. Hurst

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

This circular presents the results of a survey by Market Research of New Zealand to ascertain whether the observed trends from earlier surveys were continuing. The surveys pertained to alcohol impaired driving and revealed a progressive hardening of attitude against the impaired driver, and a gradually increasing support for the enforcement of drinking-driving laws. The current survey revealed that the hardening of public attitudes toward the impaired driver continues to progress. This is especially evidenced by the increased endorsement of random testing. There is a general increase suggested for traffic safety awareness, as witnessed by increased support for the 80 km/h speed limit.
