| 摘要： | Driving privilege suspension and revocation are know to improve traffic safety, but research suggest the majority of suspended or revoked (SR) drivers continue to drive while they are SR. These drivers are about three times more likely to be involved in crashes and to cause a fatal crash. In most U.S. States, drivers arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) are Subject to Immediate Driver License (DL) card confiscation by law enforcement. Drivers SR for other reasons are typically mailed notices directing them to surrender their DL cards to the licensing agency, yet they frequently do not comply.At DUI checkpoints in California, and many other U.S. states, law enforcement officers briefly inspect Drivers' DL cards and check for signs of intoxication. Hence, such checkpoints are deemed DUI/License status checkpoint. Previous research found that about 41% of SR drivers contacted at such checkpoints avoided detection for SR driving because they illegally retained possession of their DL cards. In this stud, DL card readers with the capacity to identify and alter officers to drivers with SR statuses were used at the checkpoints The purpose was to evaluate the utility of implementing this type of technology on a broader scale. Method. Checkpoint police officers used DL Card reader that contained lists of SR drivers that would alert if a card scanned that matched a DL number on the list. Data for 13,530 drivers were recorded, Subsequently, license statues of contacted drivers were verified and compared to checkpoint citation records. Results. About 3% (n=384) of drivers contacted at the checkpoints sere SR. Seventy-one percent of them ware detected ad cited for driving while SR. there were no difference in detection rate as a function of the suspension/revocation reason. significant differences were found in detection rate as a function of whether drivers' DL numbers were on the SR list. Conclusion. SR drivers' ability to pass undetected through D |
