Abstract

Each year thousands of persons convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) are sentenced to short term educational courses directed at modifying their drinking driving behaviour. Do such courses really impact drunk driving recidivism? For all outcome measures studied and for all time frames examined, the groups attending Alcohol and Drug Education Traffic Schools, which were less likely to receive active license suspensions, fared worse. The results were highly statistically significant.
