AB This study deals with attitudes of Czech drivers to the issues of drinking and driving, on the basis of SARTRE (Social Attitudes to Road Traffic Risk in Europe) surveys carried out during 1991 - 2002 in European countries. The results of the Czech part of SARTRE 4 show that drivers in the Czech Republic maintain their support to tightening of sanctions against drinking and driving and support, more than ever before, the technical measures which prevent drinking and driving. In general, they stand against drinking and driving and, based on their words, they rarely violate the drinking and driving regulations concerning even the slightest amount of alcohol. On the other hand, the support for increasing the maximum legal alcohol level in blood has increased and the extent of this support is also higher in the international comparison. A positive feature is the increased level of experience with the enforcement of drinking and driving regulations and the resulting increased perceived probability of being checked when driving.
