The subject of this article is the issue of road safety and road accidents caused by drunk drivers. Road safety is an important issue in Poland and in all EU Member States. That is why the European Commission adopts appropriate legal regulations, action plans and long-term strategies to increase road safety. For this purpose, the European Road Safety Council was established in 1993. An analysis of statistical data on road accidents in general and those involving drunk drivers indicates that this is still a serious problem of modern society.
