Book An Evaluation of the Impact of the Virginia Driver Improvement Program on Negligent Driving

Download or read book An Evaluation of the Impact of the Virginia Driver Improvement Program on Negligent Driving written by Cheryl Lynn and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book What is the Effect of Driver Education Programs on Traffic Crash and Violation Rates

Download or read book What is the Effect of Driver Education Programs on Traffic Crash and Violation Rates written by Stephen Michael and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of educational interventions following traffic citations has become a common practice in nearly all states across the United States. Although there is an underlying assumption that educational intervention will reduce the rate of recurring citations and crashes, little evaluation of programs across the country has been completed. Following the review of the evaluations conducted in six of the states that offer educational interventions, such as Traffic Survival School, a brief survey was conducted with the schools contracted with the Arizona Department of Transportation to assess the level of effectiveness of programs. Since the schools have no contract clause requiring evaluative measures of the programs, none of the schools conducted any formal evaluation of the program offered. Data for drivers referred to Traffic Survival School during the calendar year 2001 (high-risk offenders) were compared with data for drivers who received a citation during 2001, but were not referred to a Traffic Survival School (low-risk offenders). There is little difference in the rate of receiving another citation between the drivers who complete Traffic Survival School and those who were not referred to school. Those who opted to have their license suspended did show a significantly higher number of citations than those who were not referred. The long-term effect of attending a Traffic Survival School or having a license suspended is minimal as more than 80% of each group who do receive another citation will do so in the first year. This is significantly higher than the lower risk drivers, at 62%. Crash rates among those who are referred to a Traffic Survival School are significantly higher than those who are not referred. In all groups the incidence of crashes is significantly reduced, but the biggest reduction is seen, again, in drivers who have their license suspended.
