Samenvatting
The High Risk Offender (HRO) scheme covers those drink/drive offenders whose offences suggest that they pose particular risks to other road users. The consequence of being an HRO is that the driving licence is not reissued automatically at the end of the disqualification period, as occurs with most other types of offender. Instead, an HRO must apply for a new licence, and one will only be issued following a positive medical assessment. This report completes a series of investigations into the working of the scheme. It presents the results of a study of the criminal and motoring offence history of drink/drive offenders before they become HROs, and also examines their offending behaviour afterwards.
