Additional information
Another product of the Wellcome Trust Fellowship held at the University of Manchester, this article marked the author’s arrival in the field of policy-oriented history. It was motivated by a decision to focus exclusively on drink driving and the hypothesis that reform in this area played a crucial role in the ‘civilization’ of the road that began in the 1960s and gained pace in Europe and north America throughout the period between the mid-1970s and the present. The main argument also appears in Bill Luckin, ‘Deadly Opposites: Drink Driving in Britain 1800-2000’ (to be published in 2014).
