Book excerpt: This study evaluated the impact of the four basic treatment combinations of the rehabilitation component of the Virginia driver improvement program. This was accomplished through a comparison of the driving records of experimental group subjects who received the treatments with the records of control group subjects who did not. It was hypothesized that if the treatments were successful, drivers in the experimental groups would have significantly better post treatment driving records during the full 24 months of observation than drivers in the corresponding control groups; i.e., they would have fewer convictions and accidents. Statistical techniques were used to test this hypothesis with regard to (a) the advisory letter a warning letter issued after a driver accumulates 6 points in one year; (b) the group interview a one-time classroom meeting held when a driver accumulates 8 points in 1 year; (c) a combination of the group interview and an advisory letter; and (d) the personal interview-driver improvement clinic- a one-on-one interview, usually followed by a classroom course in defensive driving, administered when a driver accumulates 12 points in 1 year.* Theoretically, should negligent drivers continue to receive points following the personal interview their licenses are suspended. In actuality, because of the heavy work load among driver improvement analysts, there are very few formal suspensions. attempt was made to evaluate the suspension alternative. * Drivers receive rehabilitation based upon the number of traffic conviction points they accumulate over time. The validity of the point system was not directly evaluated in the study.

Book excerpt: This study sought to evaluate the impact of the four basic treatment combinations of the rehabilitation component of the Virginia driver improvement program. It was found that receipt of a warning letter from the Division of Motor Vehicles had no effect on the subsequent driving records of program participants. Drivers attending the group interview as their first contact with the driver improvement program had significantly better posttreatment driving records than similar drivers not attending the interview. Paradoxically, although the group interview alone was extremely successful in reducing the numbers of convictions, when paired with the advisory letter it was completely ineffective. The personal interview-driver improvement clinic treatment combination was highly effective in reducing subsequent minor convictions and in increasing the length of time a driver remained conviction free. The program had no impact on accident experiences of participants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1989, the content and statutory/regulatory provisions for other states' driver improvement programs were examined. This was done by both surveying the driver improvement managers in the various states and by conducting an analysis of their statutes and, where possible, their administrative rules and regulations. It is clear from these analyses that Virginia has one of the most complicated driver improvement systems in the country. The first analysis of information gained through these surveys involved the innovative practices in place in other states. These innovations fall into five categories: (1) point system innovations (in terms of both positive and negative point assignments), (2) innovations in scheduling, (3) new types and uses of treatment, (4) licensing innovations, and (5) statutory and policy innovations. Once these innovations were catalogued, attention was turned to the mechanisms by which the Virginia program could be changed. Statutory and regulatory data indicate that a majority of states permit their administrative agencies more discretion in administering driver improvement programs than is the case in Virginia. Most of these jurisdictions permit the administrative agency to promulgate point values by regulation. Alternatively, where points are not used, administrative agencies are allowed to determine the type and frequency of traffic violations that result in various driver improvement actions. Also, other states tend to allow their agencies more discretion in the number, type, and sequencing of treatments, often establishing the program in statute and describing it in regulations. Recommendations were made concerning possible statutory language to give the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles more flexibility in administering the program.
