Includes bibliographical references. Throughout the world drunk drivers are responsible for numerous accidents resulting in the injury or death of many drivers, passengers, cyclists, and/or pedestrians. South Africa experiences very high rates of injuries and deaths from road accidents. Young people, especially students and their peers, represent a high risk group because of their inexperience on the roads, and the exacerbation of this risk when alcohol limits are exceeded. In order to determine students’ and their peers’ perceptions and cognisance of their degree of intoxication, and to assess their knowledge, attitudes and practices, survey data and measures of breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) were collected from 229 young adults over nine evenings at a single pub frequented by students and their peers in a South African university city. 2015-01-10T13:29:51Z 2015-01-10T13:29:51Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11960 eng application/pdf Department of Social Development Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
