Mastronardy a 2008 report to Congress, Refusal of Intoxication Testing: A Report to Congress, State refusal rates ranged from Toms River Police Department 2.4 percent to 81 percent, with an average refusal rate of 22.4 percent. Many impaired drivers refuse to submit Seward, Arkansas to a breath test in an attempt to avoid—or have reduced—the criminal sanctions they could face upon conviction.

Seward, Alaska • State refusal rates vary from 2.4 percent in Delaware to 81 percent in New Hampshire with the aver- age refusal rate of 22.4 percent. Southern Region Chair Chief Michael Robinson Why do offenders refuse the breath test? OSU Department of Public Safety Stillwater, Oklahoma • Many DWI offenders refuse to submit to the breath test to avoid or reduce criminal sanctions upon conviction for DWI; instead, they hope to receive a minor administrative license suspension for their SACOP Director criminal and dangerous behavior, rather than sanctions appropriate with a criminal DWI conviction. Gene Voegtlin Reasons to implement a No Refusal program SACOP Manager Erin Vermilye • The BAC test is one of the most important pieces of evidence in a DWI arrest.

  • Distracted Driving Enforcement and Education Campaign Udrive
    For Immediate Release: Contact: Lt. William D. Walsh Distracted Driving Enforcement and Education Campaign UDrive. UText. UPay. to be carried out locally from April 1 – April 21, 2017 VOORHEES -- Law enforcement officers from the Voorhees Police Department will be cracking down on distracted drivers during April as part of New Jersey’s UDrive. UText. UPay. enforcement campaign. Beginning April 1 and running through April 21, the high visibility law enforcement initiative will target motorists who engage in dangerous distracted driving behaviors such as talking on hand-held cell phones and sending text messages while driving. “Distracted driving is a serious issue on our roadways,” said Gary Poedubicky, Acting Director of the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety. "The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2014 alone, 3,179 people were killed in distracted driving crashes and an estimated 431,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver.” Despite the fact that using a hand held cell phone or texting while driving is illegal in New Jersey, the practice appears to be widespread. In a recent survey conducted by the FDU PublicMind Poll for the Division of Highway Traffic Safety, 67% of respondents said they “very often” see people driving and talking on a hand held cell phone. 42% of respondents said they “very often” see driver’s texting. The campaign is being carried out during the month of April, which the National Safety Council has designated as Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The New Jersey campaign is modeled after similar successful high visibility enforcement programs such as Click It or Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

  • The NMDOT Traffic Safety Division Updates Driver Education Motor
    APR-JUN 2021 The NMDOT Traffic Safety Division Updates Driver Education SOURCE: https://www.myhighplains.com/news/new-mexico/new-mexico- department-of-transportation-traffic-safety-division-updates-driver-education/ The New Mexico Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Division (NMDOT TSD) is working with driving schools across the state to complete driver education training while adhering to health and safety orders. “The pandemic has forced a lot of families and driving schools to suspend driver education courses,” said Transportation Secretary Mike Sandoval. “Getting a license has also been an issue because students couldn’t complete their in-person driving instruction or make an appointment to test with the MVD offices to attain their licenses,” adds Sandoval. “Now that students can resume one-on one driving instruction, they can progress through the Graduated Driver Licensing system.” The NMDOT’s Traffic Safety Division (TSD) oversees all driver education programs statewide. All teens under the age of 18 must complete one of three programs to obtain a driver permit and license in New Mexico. • Teens may complete 30 hours of classroom instruction with seven hours of behind the wheel training with a certified instructor. This format is offered by private driving schools. • Complete 56 hours of classroom instruction. These are high school elective courses. • Complete 56 hours of NMDOT-approved correspondence education through a home-based program and students must apply for permission prior to enrollment. The department has directed, said the announcement, all driving schools to follow current emergency public health orders and COVID-19 safe practices and guidance. High schools are directed to provide a hybrid model of in-person instruction and virtual learning or complete virtual instruction.
