TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

THE CONCEPT OF SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT ATTEMPTS TO ANALYZE WHERE AND WHEN ACCIDENTS TAKE PLACE AND WHAT THE LEADING CAUSES ARE, AND THEN FOCUS ENFORCEMENT ATTENTION IN MAJOR ACCIDENT LOCATIONS. THE CONCEPT GOES BACK 35 YEARS, BUT BENEFIT COST ANALYSIS IS NOW BEING APPLIED TO IT. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PRESIDENT'S TASK FORCE ON HIGHWAY SAFETY ARE DISCUSSED AS REGARDS ENFORCEMENT AND ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN IMPROVING DRIVER PERFORMANCE. THE PROBLEM OF DRINKING DRIVERS AND DRUG ADDICTED DRIVERS IS DISCUSSED. RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE DRIVER LICENSING PROCEDURES ARE MADE. /HSL/
