AN OPTIMUM SYSTEM FOR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT DRIVER CONTROL VOLUME I

THE STUDY WAS CONDUCTED IN RESPONSE TO A 1968 LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION (SR-160) WHICH DIRECTED THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES (DMV) TO MAKE AN INDEPTH STUDY OF FUNCTIONS PERFORMED BY STATE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT/DRIVER CONTROL AGENCIES (TE/DC). THE MAJOR RECOMMENDATION OF THE FOUR VOLUME REPORT IS THAT ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES SHOULD BE EFFECTED TO ACHIEVE A MORE COORDINATED APPROACH TO THE TRAFFIC SAFETY PROBLEM. THE MAIN FINDINGS AND METHODS OF THE STUDY ARE CONTAINED IN VOLUME I. SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE FOR IMPROVED DRIVER LICENSING PROCEDURES, POST-LICENSING CONTROL ACTIVITIES, BETTER USE OF DRIVER RECORDS AND MORE EFFECTIVE ALLOCATION OF TRAFFIC OFFICERS. A MORE UNIFIED APPROACH TO PENALIZING AND TREATING THE NEGLIGENT OPERATOR, DRUNK DRIVER AND OTHER PROBLEM DRIVERS IS ALSO RECOMMENDED. /AUTHOR MODIFIED AB- STRACT/
