This study attempted to identify significant factors affecting the likelihood of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUIA) recurrence based on the drivers’ related characteristics of recidivists. A survival model was used to identify the differences in time period taken until the DUIA recurrence occurs, and a Cox proportional hazard model was employed to investigate which factors are more likely to affect the likelihood of DUIA recurrence. For the analysis, data were collected through a survey of 320 drivers who had been prosecuted as DUIA and to complete the DUIA special traffic safety education program at the Uijeongbu branch of Road Traffic Authority, and then combined with DUIA-related data stored at the National Police Agency database system. The results of survival analysis indicated that the median period from the first offence to the second one was about 347.8 weeks, and that age, gender, occupation, education, and Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) were significantly found as risk factors affecting the likelihood of DUIA recurrence. From the analytical results, it seems to establish a countermeasure for differentiated education and management for each driver factor.
