Community impact on the NT economy due to people driving under
the influence:
Based on the report I found: https://alcoholpolicy.nt.gov.au/?a=1138784

tangible costs include:

 Total health costs equate to $100,177,195
 Total road crash costs equate to $57,626,900 (excluding mortality and hospital
separations)
 Total quantifiable costs of crime equate to $272,577,240
 Total child protection costs equate to $170,912,745
The most significant intangible costs are:
 Intangible costs of premature death of $652.5 million
 Intangible costs of permanent impairment from road crash injuries of $17.1
million
 Intangible costs of crime (e.g. pain and suffering, reduced feeling of safety) of
$15.9 million
 A recent report released by the NT Department of Attorney-General and Justice
(DAGJ) indicates that the estimated per capita alcohol consumption in the NT for
persons aged 15 or over in 2017 was 11.6 liters per person (DAGJ 2018).
 The proportion of transport injuries attributable to alcohol in the NT is taken from
assessments made by NT police as to whether alcohol was the primary cause of
the crash (Road Safety NT 2018), which conclude that on average over 2015 and
2016 47.9 percent of crashes involving a fatality (and 19.9 percent of crashes
involving a serious injury) were attributable to alcohol.
Preventive measures people can take:
 Sober Bob Campaign. They can hire a designated driver to drive them home
when they are too intoxicated to drive.

Videos about people losing their loved ones and about the campaign can be
found in the following website. It’s a chain of videos of people who talk about how
they lost someone as a result of drink driving. These videos can be useful for
people to know what is actually going on in the NT relating to driving under the
influence:

 People should either not drink and drive or know their limits when driving. How
much can people drink based on the license they have can be found in the
education course program. How can people be safe and what is the limit for
people to drink while driving:
