EFFECTIVENESS OF LICENSE SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION FOR DRIVERS CONVICTED OF MULTIPLE DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OFFENSES--AN OVERVIEW OF THREE STUDIES

Three studies of the effects of licensing action on multiple DUI offenders are reported. The first two assessed the impact of license suspension or revocation compared to no licensing action or participation in an alcohol abuse treatment program. The third study dealt with the effects of licensing action on the DUI offender. The results showed that licensing action for multiple DUI offenders had a more positive traffic safety effect than either no licensing action or treatment programs. Both the magnitude and the duration of this effect are documented.
