AN ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF IMPLEMENTING AND PUBLICIZING ADMINISTRATIVE LICENSE REVOCATION FOR DWI IN NEVADA. FINAL REPORT

This is summary of a study of the effects of publicizing administrative license revocation for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Nevada. The law calls for confiscation of the drivers license at the time of arrest for drivers whose chemical test results are at or above an alcohol concentration of .10% or who refuse to submit to a chemical test. In this project, a public information campaign was designed and implemented emphasizing license revocation and strict enforcement of the law. Subsequent analysis revealed statistically significant reductions in alcohol-related and nighttime crashes at the time the overall campaign was fully implemented. Alcohol-related crashes were reduced by 12%.
