Habitual Offender Drivers Tied to Highway Death Toll Rise
The NAIA notes that habitual offender drivers, about 5 percent of motorists, cause the main rural road fatalities in 1974 through speeding and other violations. Virginia’s 1968 anti HOD law cut deaths by 20 percent, spurring 20 states to adopt similar legislation. 29 states still permit HODs on the road. The NAIA urges universal adoption to curb auto fatalities and injuries.
