While license suspension/revocation has been shown to be effective, it is also known that most suspended/revoked (S/R) drivers violate their illegal driving status and continue to drive, accruing traffic convictions and becoming involved in crashes. In an attempt to strengthen license actions, and to better control S/R and unlicensed driver, California enacted two laws effective January 1995 which provide for the impoundment/forfeiture of vehicle driven by S/R and unlicensed drivers. The current study evaluates the impact of vehicle impoundment on the 1-year subsequent driving behavior of S/R and unlicensed drivers who are subject to it.
