Data are based according to Traffic Act § 224 penalties and Penal Code § 424 punishments. Municipality - the place where drunk driver in charge of a motor vehicle is caught.
When the caught place by municipality is uncrossed, but county is known, then these are counted in sum of the county. That is the reason, why the total number for these counties (in 2017: Jõgeva, Põlva and Tartu county, in 2018: Harju, Ida-Viru, Tartu and Valga county, in 2019: Harju, Pärnu and Tartu county, in 2020: Harju county, in 2021: Harju, Tartu and Võru county, in 2022: Harju, Põlva, Pärnu and Viljandi county, in 2024: Harju county) are bigger than sum of county's municipalities. 29.09.2022 added rate per 100,000 inhabitants of the corresponding administrative unit.
In calculating the rates, the number of drunk drivers caught in an administrative unit has been used by relating it to the mean annual population by place of residence in a given administrative unit (the source of the mean annual population is Statistics Estonia).
Toila municipality merged with Jõhvi municipality in November 2025 - from 2025, data has been summarized with Jõhvi municipality data.
30.04.2026 updated data for 2024.
29.05.2026 added rates for 2025.
The dataset provides an overview of drunk drivers (persons) caught by the police for driving under the influence (DUI) and the rate per 100,000 inhabitants by administrative unit in Estonia. The data is grouped by administrative units (municipalities and counties in Estonia) - caught place. The dataset enables comparisons between administrative units while accounting for population size. The aim of collecting DUI-related indicators is to support understanding of risk behaviour and planning preventive actions. Data source: Police and Border Guard Board.
