MOTOR VEHICLE LAW REVIEW

The 14th Annual AAMVA Institute on Motor Vehicle and Traffic Law focussed on innovative efforts to attack the problem of drunk driver through the use of administrative suspensions. New procedures instituted by Minnesota, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to provide for the pre-conviction suspension of drivers arrested for drunk driving were examined in detail. Other topics included: a review of the constitutional aspects of alcohol/homicide accident investigations; the state role in enforcement of safety equipment compliance; important federal legislation; the question of when state safety regulations constitute a burden on interstate commerce; the legal problems involving abandoned motor vehicles; the International Registration Plan; Section 19 of the Motor Carrier Deregulation Act; licensing of aliens and non-English speaking applicants; compulsory insurance legislation; and legal aspects of the Driver License Examiner Certification Program.
