The long-term traffic safety impact of a pilot alcohol abuse treatment as an alternative to license suspension. Volume 2 of "An evaluation of the California drunk driving countermeasure system".

The findings of this study suggest that the original SB 330 sentencing strategy, which waived license action as an incentive to participation in an alcohol rehabilitation program, had a negative impact on traffic safety. The hoped for reductions in alcohol-related accidents among SB 330 program participants did not occur. These findings indicate that some other alternative besides license-action waivers should be used as an inducement for repeat DUI offenders to participate in treatment.
