IIHS is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing the losses deaths, injuries and property damage from crashes on the nation s roads. HLDI shares this mission by analyzing insurance data representing human and economic losses from crashes and other events related to vehicle ownership. Both organizations are wholly supported by auto insurers.

What works to reduce alcoholimpaired driving?

Laws requiring administrative license suspension (ALS) for first DUI offense April 2015 WA OR CA NV ID UT AZ MT WY CO NM ND SD NE KS OK MN IA MO AR WI IL MI IN KY TN OH PA WV VA NC SC VT NY NH NJ DE MD DC ME CT MA RI TX LA MS AL GA AK FL HI

Administrative license suspension (ALS) laws ALS laws remove impaired drivers from the road quickly and ensure that penalties are applied Effectiveness of ALS laws Reduce alcohol-impaired driving among the general population Reduce recidivism among DUI offenders Reduce the number of fatal crashes likely to involve alcohol and the number of drivers with positive BACs involved in fatal crashes (Zador et al., 1989; Klein, 1989; Wagenaar and Maldonado-Molina, 2007)

Strong laws strongly enforced are a proven countermeasure for reducing impaired driving Median decrease in alcohol-involved fatal crashes of 9 percent associated with well-publicized sobriety checkpoint programs (Bergen, 2014) Other types of targeted DUI enforcement such as saturation patrols also can be effective, especially when publicized

Traditional large-scale sobriety checkpoint

Low manpower checkpoint program in West Virginia reduced percent of drivers with BACs 0.05 g/dl (Lacey et al., 2006)

Use of passive alcohol sensors at sobriety checkpoints improves detection of alcoholimpaired drivers

Percent of high BAC drivers detected by officers, with and without passive alcohol sensors IIHS, 1986-1995 without sensors with sensors sobriety checkpoints 45-55 68-71 routine patrol 69 77 special DUI patrol 88 94

Sobriety checkpoints work, but they aren t used often June 30, 2001

Annual number of sobriety checkpoints conducted in states per 100,000 residents Survey of state highway safety offices, 2012 WA OR CA NV ID MT WY UT CO AZ NM ND SD NE KS OK TX MN IA MO AR LA WI IL MS MI PA IN OH WV KY VA TN NC SC AL GA NY ME VT NH MA RI NJ CT DE MD DC > 20 HI AK FL 3 to 20 < 3 not conducted unknown

How sobriety checkpoints are conducted Few agencies conduct low manpower checkpoints 17 percent typically use fewer than 7 officers 48 percent use 7-15 officers 27 percent use more than 15 officers 63 percent typically pool resources with other law enforcement agencies Almost all agencies (87 percent) publicize their checkpoints

Frequency of dedicated DUI patrols by state and local law enforcement agencies 100% 80% 60% at least monthly quarterly less than quarterly none other or unknown 40% 20% 0% county municipal state national estimate

Use of passive alcohol sensors 20 percent of agencies used passive alcohol sensors Among agencies using passive alcohol sensors, most used them infrequently (54 percent)

Alcohol ignition interlocks

Alcohol ignition interlocks Driver blows into a tube to test breath for alcohol Vehicle won t start if certain amount of alcohol detected Periodic retests while vehicle is in motion BAC 0.025 g/dl is typical threshold for DUI offenders

Prior studies of effects of interlocks on recidivism Most studies compared recidivism rates of offenders who installed interlocks vs. those who did not Reductions in recidivism of 60-80 percent while interlocks installed Reductions found for both repeat and first offenders Effects dissipate after interlocks removed Difficult to adequately account for potential differences between offenders who elected to get interlocks and those who did not No prior study examined the effects of an all-offender law requiring interlock orders on recidivism among all offenders affected by the law Little prior rigorous research on the effects of interlock programs on alcohol-related crashes

Effects of interlock law changes on crashes

Percent decreases in single-vehicle, late-night crashes in Washington State Relative to trends in Oregon and California percent p value 2003 law change: issuance of interlock orders moved to Department of Licensing -6.4 0.0792 2004 law change: interlock order requirement extended to all DUI convictions -8.3 0.0183

Conclusions Installation rates increased somewhat after administration was moved to Department of Licensing in 2003 and after the interlock requirement was extended to all DUI offenders in 2004 Preliminary data suggest that allowing immediate interlock installation after arrest, in lieu of an administrative license suspension, led to more installations and earlier installations Extending interlock requirement to all first-time DUI convictions in Washington reduced recidivism by 12 percent Additional gains achievable with higher installation rates The all-offender law was associated with a significant reduction in risk of single-vehicle late-night crashes, suggesting a general deterrent effect

Attitudes toward requiring alcohol ignition interlocks for convicted DWI offenders National telephone survey, 2009 2% 7% 8% very good idea good idea 45% not a good idea bad idea 39% don't know

Implications for states? Expand use of alcohol ignition interlocks by DUI offenders Extend laws to all DUI convictions Seek ways to increase interlock use rates Reconsider loopholes in laws that allow reductions in DUI charges to traffic offenses without interlock requirements or other DUI penalties Publicize interlock laws to deter all drivers from driving impaired

There is little research on many specific implementation issues Is an interlock program more effectively administered by courts or licensing agencies? What are the effects on safety of allowing an interlock immediately after arrest and in lieu of an administrative license suspension? Should offenders be penalized for failing the interlock start test? Is so, how? Will this discourage interlock installations? Which law is better one that allows offenders to serve the suspension rather than getting an interlock and then to reinstate their license, or one that does not permit offenders to reinstate until they show proof they installed the interlock?

Advanced in-vehicle alcohol detection technology

September 17, 2009

Potential lives saved in 2013 if all drivers with specific BACs were kept off the roads BAC 0.08 g/dl positive BAC drivers with multiple DUI convictions within 3 years drivers with at least one prior DUI conviction within 3 years 67 97 428 614 all drivers 6,904 10,494

Broader installation of alcohol detection technology Current ignition interlocks are not suitable for use in all vehicles Inconvenient, expensive, require calibration People who obey alcohol-impaired driving laws People who don t drink alcohol Need technology that is virtually invisible to driver without sacrificing precision Accurately detects BAC 0.08 g/dl (without false positives or false negatives) Must differentiate between driver and passenger

Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety Partnership between federal government and automakers Research, develop, test advanced alcohol detection technology suitable for all vehicles Build public support for vehicle-based approach Two technology firms developing systems that reliably determine driver s BAC in 1/3 second and are reliable and durable enough to install in vehicles Phase three 5 years beginning fall 2013 Refine devices, test human subjects, show commercial feasibility Gauge public response to specific technologies

Two technologies being developed Breath-based system Using infrared light beams, measures concentrations of alcohol and carbon dioxide from driver s exhaled breath in vehicle cabin Amount of carbon dioxide in breath indicates degree of dilution of alcohol concentration in expired air Takes instantaneous, unobtrusive readings as driver breaths normally and accurately and reliably identify breath of driver vs. passengers Touch-based system Uses near-infrared tissue spectrometry and measures light absorption to detect level of alcohol in blood Goal is to integrate system into current vehicle controls, e.g., start button, and take multiple, accurate readings in less than a second

Attitudes toward advanced alcohol test technology in all vehicles, if technology shown to be reliable IIHS national telephone survey, 2009 19% 11% 6% very good idea good idea 36% not a good idea bad idea don't know 28%

Percent of respondents who think advanced alcohol test technology in all vehicles is good or very good idea 80 60 40 20 0 all drive regularly drink drive after drinking don't drink

Would survey respondents want advanced alcohol test technology in next vehicle, if available as option and cost is reasonable? Respondents who drive regularly 4% 42% yes no 54% don't know/not sure

Percent of drivers who would want advanced alcohol test technology in next vehicle 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 all drivers who drink drive after drinking may have driven over legal limit

Summary We are entering an exciting period in advanced automotive technology Reaping the rewards of this technology will be a gradual, slow process; unclear how it will affect alcohol-impaired driving crashes A crash-free environment is not on the immediate horizon; putting people in packages that protect them in crashes remains a top priority In the near term over the next ten years and likely beyond our success in reducing crash deaths and injuries will also depend on other proven countermeasures in highway safety This includes strong DUI laws strongly enforced and meaningful penalties, including alcohol ignition interlocks

Summary Automated driving will help prevent and mitigate crashes Actual effectiveness of partial automation has been documented Ideal automated systems cannot be distracted as drivers can be Automated driving systems are not created equal Not all are living up to their promise yet Even those with similar functional descriptions may act differently Consumer information testing can help identify important differences Widespread automated driving will take time Current partial automated systems are evolving quickly Older vehicles are replaced by state-of-the-art vehicles slowly

Research objectives Examine the effects of 2003 law change moving administration to the Department of Licensing and 2004 all-offender law requiring interlock orders on conviction types, interlock installation rates, and the recidivism rate among all offenders affected by the law Examine the preliminary effects of the 2009 law change making interlocks available immediately after arrest on conviction types and interlock installation rate Examine the general deterrent effect of 2003 and 2004 law changes on single-vehicle late-night crashes

Effects of extending interlock requirement to all first-time DUI convictions in Washington state Recidivism among affected offenders reduced by 12 percent, even with low interlock installation rate (about one-third) Additional gains achievable with higher installation rates predicted recidivism about half at 100 percent vs. 34 percent installation rate Law change associated with significant 8.3 percent reduction in risk of single-vehicle nighttime crashes, suggesting a general deterrent, population effect Implications for states? Extend interlock requirements to all DUI convictions Publicize interlock laws to deter all drivers from driving impaired
