In 2007 ETSC, the European Transport Safety Council, started a campaign on drink driving, called “Safe & Sober”. In light of the European Union’s road safety target to halve road deaths by 2010, the objective of this activity is to raise awareness amongst policy makers, the private sector as well as key opinion leaders for a systemic approach to reduce alcohol misuse in commercial transport.
 
In the framework of this campaign, ETSC is organising a series of roundtable events (the “Safe & Sober Talks”) in selected member states bringing together “drink driving stakeholders” and road safety experts. On the agenda will be measures to tackle drink driving such as the use of alcohol interlocks, enforcement, the BAC limit and targeting novice drivers. The seventh of these “Safe & Sober Talks” will be held in the Netherlands on 6 July 2009.
