Summary
This study surveyed motor vehicle administrations across the United States to assess current licensing and renewal policies regarding high-risk drivers. Data were collected from 46 states and the District of Columbia via mail questionnaires, supplemented by information from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The research examined requirements for first-time, out-of-state, and renewing drivers, as well as specific programs for teenagers, the elderly, and substance abusers. Results indicated that while most states require standard testing for new licenses, few implemented proactive licensing or re-licensing programs specifically designed to identify and mitigate high-risk driving behavior. The authors concluded that the lack of systematic identification and treatment programs for high-risk drivers represents a significant gap in policy that, if addressed, could reduce accident rates.
Key finding
The majority of surveyed states lacked specific licensing or re-licensing programs to identify and treat high-risk drivers, relying instead on standard testing and mail renewal processes.
