Respondents supported tougher penalties for dangerous behaviors like drink driving and hooning. The results were seen as demonstrating public demand for improved road safety through better education, enforcement, and infrastructure changes.
More than 1.2 million people die in road accidents worldwide every year, accounting for 3-4% of gross national product lost. In India, road accidents increased from 2001-2009, with over 500,000 accidents and deaths each year. Road accidents are projected to become the fifth largest cause of death by 2030. Common causes of accidents include speeding, alcohol/drug use, vehicle overloading, and defective vehicles or roads. Problems in reducing accidents include inadequate infrastructure, corruption, and attitudes of citizens unwilling to follow traffic rules. Proposed solutions include improving infrastructure through road widening and planning, enforcing traffic laws, and increasing transparency to reduce corruption.
Road crashes are a major cause of death globally and in the Philippines. Each year over 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes worldwide, with most deaths occurring in low and middle income countries like the Philippines. In the Philippines, road crashes are the 4th leading cause of death. Metro Manila sees over 240 road crashes per day resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands injured annually. The economic and social costs of road crashes amount to billions of pesos each year in the Philippines. Proper interventions targeting risk factors like speeding, lack of restraint use, non-use of helmets, and drunk driving have been shown to significantly reduce road crashes and deaths.

This document outlines the history of the anti-drinking and driving movement from the 1800s to today. It discusses how in the late 1800s, alcohol was commonly consumed but was not yet regulated in relation to driving. The first drunk driving arrest occurred in 1897 in London. Throughout the early 1900s, laws around alcohol and driving began to emerge, including the Volstead Act in 1920 that enacted prohibition. Organizations against drinking and driving like MADD were formed in the 1980s, which led to nationwide laws in the 1990s setting the legal limit at 0.08 BAC and the minimum legal drinking age at 21. Drinking and driving continues to be addressed through various laws and advocacy groups today.
