Abstract:In July 2007, Washington State modified its vehicle code to clarify that its existing impoundment law for unlicensed drivers also applies to operators without specially endorsed licenses, including motorcycle riders, and expressly allows law enforcement officers to impound the motorcycles of unendorsed operators. To understand the effect of this law on motorcycle riders in Washington, the goals of this project were to examine: (1) Any issues associated with the implementation of the law; (2) Awareness of the law; (3) Enforcement of the law, in terms of prevalence of impoundment and citations issued under the law; (4) Effects of the law on endorsements; (5) Effects of the law on riders taking safety training; and (6) Effects of the law on crashes.
