Seven years after it was passed, the Brazilian law on drinking and driving—the Lei Seca—, a survey shows that the frequency with which adults drive after drinking alcohol abusively has declined by 45%. The rate went from 2% in 2007 to 1.1% in 2013.

The impact of the new piece of legislation proved more significant among men, with a fall of 47% (from 4% in 2007 to 2.1% in 2013). The percentage of female drunk drivers remained flat at 0.3%.
