REPORT ON PROTOTYPE HIGHWAY SAFETY AND TRAFFIC OFFENSE ADJUDICATION TRAINING PROGRAM

A prototype highway safety and traffic offense adjudication training symposium explored ways to make traffic offense adjudication more highway safety effective. State supreme court justices, other state officials involved in traffic adjudication and highway safety, and national experts, were in attendance at the 1972 symposium in Denver, Colorado. The symposium highlighted the relationship between traffic violations and highway accidents; the advisability of implementing administrative hearings to supplement or replace traffic court adjudication; the need for change in the traffic law system; improved rehabilitation techniques for problem drivers; and, innovative approaches in handling problem drinker drivers.
