Introduction

The case that we are having to survey is about the chances of increasing road accident due to drunk driving. The major missing information is to find out if the drivers who are involved in accidents while drinking is aware of the rules and regulations that govern the roads from the state laws, it is illegal to drive while drunk and this case was not going to be taken lightly. The recent accident that was as a result of drunkenness, the driver was punished severely. It is our duty to find out if these individuals are aware of the rule and the regulation that govern drunk driving and the accidents that they cause. In this article, we will look at the questions that could be possibly used to collected the remaining data through survey method and the individual through who will get the questionnaires. Additionally, we will look at the types of questions whether open ended or close-ended questions and then finally analyze whether the questionnaires will be used to for quantitative or qualitative method.

Choose from the following choices given below to answer question 1-3

Question 1. How old are you?

A) Under eighteen b) 20-30 C) 30-40 D) 40-50 E) 50 and above

This is closed ended the question and it is majorly aimed at collecting the data that will be used in quantitative data collection. It will help in finding the ages of the drivers surveyed

Question 2. Do you have a valid driving license?

Yes or No

If yes above when did you acquire the driving license

This question is a closed-ended question and the drivers being surveyed will state whether they have a valid driving license or not. They have no option but to state either yes or no. this open-ended question will help in collecting qualitative data

Question 3. How long have you been driving motor vehicles?

A) 5 years and below B). 5-10 years C) 10-15 years D) 15-20yeras E) 20 years and above

This is a closed-ended questionnaire and it is also used in collecting quantitative data especial about the driver’s experience. Collecting this will help in finding out the drivers who are often involved in accidents.

Question 4. Have you ever been involved in an accident?

A) Yes B). No

If yes kindly state how many times you have been involved in an accident and whether you were prosecuted or pardoned.

This is also a closed-ended question that will be used in the survey. This question is designed to help in collecting qualitative data,

Question 5. What did you think will be the outcome of driving while drunk?

This is an open-ended question. This question will help in collecting quantitative data and to be more specific collecting the view of the drivers about the drinking while drunk.

Question 6. How often are accidents caused by drivers who are driving while they are drunk?

Extremely often (

Quite often (

Moderately often (

Slightly often (

Not at all often (

This is a closed-ended question. It will be used in collecting qualitative data

Question 7. What would you suggest the state laws to do or act towards your behaviour and careless driving?

This is also an open-ended question and it will also be used in collecting the quantitative data. The ideas given by the different drivers will help in coming up with the right actions that can be taken against the offender that broke the rules that are put in place to help in reducing the accident caused by drink driving

Question 8. What do you think are the best means of reducing cases of an accident caused by drunk driving?

This is also an open-ended question and will also be part of collecting qualitative data. The major aim here is to try and reduce the chances of accident caused by the case of drunk driving

Question 9. In a scale of 1-5 rate the extent to which the drivers on the road usually aware of the rules and regulation that are required of them when on the roads

1-Very much aware (

2. Aware (

3. Moderately aware (

4. Slightly aware (

5. Not aware at all (

This is a closed-ended question and it will be used for collecting qualitative data

Question 10. Are you ready to compensate for the damages that you cause during an accident?

Yes or No

If yes kindly give explanations

If No kindly give explanations

This is a closed-ended question. It will be used in collecting qualitative data

What missing data the survey is trying to collect?

The survey will be trying to find out if the drivers in the field are usually aware of the rule and the regulations that they are supposed to adhere to while driving. The major focus that the survey is trying to find out about is the case of a driver who drinks while driving and if they are aware of the consequences and the regulations (Presser, Couper, Lessler, Martin, Martin, Rothgeb, & Singer, 2004). It was also trying to see if the drivers are in a position of accepting them and taking care of the damages that they have caused during an accident

What would be the preferred method used to conduct the survey?

Since the major individuals who are targeted are the driver and the drivers are usually on the road the best way of conducting the survey will be through a phone survey. The telephone survey will help in reducing the cost of having several people going from the place and additionally it will reduce the time taken for the survey (Bryman, 2015).  Additionally, I would prefer telephone survey since almost everyone has got a mobile and the privacy will be enhanced when people talk over the phone

Who would be receiving the survey? 

The major focus of our survey will be the drivers who are usually on the road on a daily basis. This survey will be analyzed and given to the individual in the courts to help in making the right decision concerning the case that we have in place.
