• Abstract:
  Ensuring that Driving While Impaired (DWI) offenders who receive the license suspension penalty actually do not drive is a major problem in most states. This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that many suspended drivers continue to be involved in crashes and receive traffic citations during periods of license suspension. This report covers a study of vehicle impoundment and forfeiture laws and vehicle tag impoundment laws which have potential for preventing illicit driving by suspended DWI offenders. Phase II of this research effort will be an evaluation of laws in the States of Oregon and Washington which provide for the suspension of vehicle registration and the placing of stickers on vehicle tags by police. /Abstract from report summary page/
