Why is it important?
The most important finding of the study is that, among crash-involved drivers, some Mosaic types are significantly more likely (e.g., pocket pensions, dependent greys, streetwise singles) and others are significantly less likely (e.g., crowded kaleidoscope, cultural comfort, penthouse chic) to contribute to a drink-related crash.
Perspectives
The study concludes by discussing the implications for governments and other interested bodies for better targeting and delivery of public education campaigns and interventions. Replicating this type of study for different countries and different collision types would offer a better understanding of traffic and drivers.
