Abstract

The term 'Use and Lose' describes laws that authorize driver licensing actions against persons found to be using or in possession of illicit drugs, and against young persons found to be drinking, purchasing or in possession of alcoholic beverages. Logistic regression and survival analyses were used to assess the highway safety effects of 'Use and Lose'. in Pennsylvania in terms of subsequent motor vehicle crashes and violations of underage persons arrested for alcohol/drug violations. Drivers under the age of 21 suspended for drinking, purchasing or in possession of alcohol or illicit drugs were less likely to have subsequent traffic convictions and crash involvements than young drivers similarly charged but not suspended. License suspension is recommended for these high-risk. young drivers. (Author/publisher) For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD Abstract No. E201067.
