• Abstract:
  Because of the substantial number of driving while intoxicated (DWI) offenders driving illegally with suspended
  
  licenses and the limited enforcement resources available to dealwith the problem, many States and the Federal government
  
  have begun to enact legislation directed at the vehicles owned by offenders to limit their illicit driving. Such policies fall into
  
  three broad categories: (1) programs that require special plates on the vehicles of DWI offenders and/or confiscating the
  
  vehicle plates and vehicle registration; (2) devices installed in the vehicle that prevent its operation if the driver has been
  
  drinking (alcohol ignition interlock); and (3) programs that impound, immobilize, confiscate, or forfeit the vehicles. This study
  
  updates as of the end of 2004 a 1992 NHTSA study of vehicle sanctions. The 1992 study reported that 32 States had laws
  
  providing for various vehicle sanctions; however, in most of these States these sanctions were rarely used. This current study
  
  updates that effort with a contemporary overviewof vehicle sanction laws and their application as of December 2004. It goes
  
  beyond the earlier study by reporting on information from other countries, incorporating a review of ignition interlock devices
  
  (not considered in the earlier study), and providing amore recent list of vehicle sanctions on a State-by-State basis.
  
  This report, compared to the 1992 report, identified 131 pieces of legislationwith all 50 States having at least one
  
  vehicle sanction lawin 2004.Although it was difficult to obtain quantitative information on the application of vehicle
  
  sanctions, itwas documented that at least 51 of the 131 laws are used regularly. Alcohol ignition interlock laws were enacted
  
  most often in the States (43), followed by vehicle forfeiture laws (31). Half of the States (25) reported having alcohol ignition
  
  interlock laws thatwere actively being applied on at least some of the eligible offenders. There are a number of barriers to the
  
  implementation of vehicle sanctions. These are discussed along with suggestions for improvements in their application. This is
  
  Volume II of a two-volume report: Volume I synthesizes and summarizes the findings, whereas Volume II describes vehicle
  
  sanctions status for each State as of the end of 2004.
