France: share of drivers engaging in risky behaviors on the road 2014-2023

In a March 2023 survey,12 percent of French respondents admitted to driving while on medication that may impair their alertness, and nine percent while feeling the effects of alcohol. Even though driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is identified as one of the main causes of fatal accidents by well over half of French road users, the share of drunk drivers has been slightly increasing in recent years.

在2023年3月的一项调查中，12%的法国受访者承认在服用可能影响其警觉性的药物时驾驶，9%的人在感受到酒精影响时驾驶。尽管超过半数的法国道路使用者将酒后或药物影响下的驾驶识别为致命事故的主要原因，但在近年来的统计中，酒后驾驶者的比例略有上升。
