REPORT ON SYMPOSIUM ON EFFECTIVE HIGHWAY SAFETY ADJUDICATION. VOLUME I

The second symposium explored ways to make traffic offense adjudication more highway safety effective. State highway safety officials from 10 primarily eastern States, as well as national experts, were in attendance at the symposium conducted November 1973 in New York City, New York. 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.
