| Abstract | This report summarizes a study of the effects of publicizing administrative license revocation for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in Nevada. The law calls for confiscation of the drivers license at the time of arrest for drivers whose chemical test results are at or above an alcohol concentration of .10 or who refuse to submit to a chemical test. In this project, a public information campaign was designed and implemented emphasizing license revocation and strict enforcement of the law. Subsequent analysis revealed statistically significant reductions in alcohol-related and nighttime crashes at the time the overall PI&E campaign was fully A implemented. Alcohol-related crashes were reduced by 12 percent. subsequent survey revealed increased awareness of the sanction, expectation that it was applied, and reductions in reported drinking driving behavior. Though other changes in the DWI law coincided with implementation of administrative license revocation, the cumulative evidence indicates that administrative license revocation in conjunction with well-publicized enforcement can result in reductions in alcohol-related crashes. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
