A brief five minute cross-sectional online survey was designed to examine the effects of COVID-19 on drink-driving behaviours. Five foci were explored in the survey including driving behaviour, drinking behaviour, drink-driving behaviour, perceptions of RBT, and response to suspended routine RBT due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants are licensed drivers from Queensland, Australia and aged at least 18 years. A total of 350 participants (Mean age = 35 years) have participated in the survey to date.
