Abstract:

Author's abstract: This report presents a study of the effectiveness of two laws in the State of Ohio, one of which provided for the impounding and immobilization (with a "club" device) of the vehicles of multiple drunk driving offenders and drivers convicted of driving while suspended, where the suspension resulted from a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) offense. That vehicle action law was implemented simultaneously with an Administrative License Suspension (ALS) law, which is also evaluated in this report. Separate analyses of the impact of the impoundment/immobilization law in Franklin (Columbus) and Hamilton (Cincinnati) counties indicated that DUI offenders whose vehicles are sanctioned have fewer repeat DUI offenses both during the time the car is impounded or immobilized and after it is returned to the owner than comparable drivers who did not receive a vehicle sanction. Overall there was evidence that following the implementation of the vehicle action law on September 1, 1993, there were fewer DUI offenses committed by multiple DUI offenders. Evaluation of the ALS law indicated that it increased the proportion of first drunk driving offenders receiving a license suspension from 60% to 99% and the proportion of second offenders suspended from 85% to 99%.
