Iowa Implements 3 Point Plan To Curb Drunk Driving
Safety Commissioner Don Station launches a three step enforcement program in Iowa. Immediate license suspension before trial for arrestees on drunken driving suspicions. Patrols assigned to known trouble spots including taverns clubs and sporting events. Saturation enforcement drives in counties with acute drinking driver problems. The program aims to arrest more drunken drivers and suspend licenses pretrial while legal rules allow suspension based on arrest records. Station notes OMVI convictions have declined from 2902 in 1962 to 2081 recently, arguing fewer arrests and convictions reflect enforcement gaps rather than declines in drunken driving.
