Driving history records were analyzed for two matched driver groups each possessing two or more convictions for driving-under-the-influence (DUI). Both driver groups received standard fines and/or jail time while one received the mandated license suspension/revocation with the other receiving no licensing action. 1,501 drivers were included in each group. The analysis addressed five years of driving record prior to the entry conviction and six years of record subsequent to the conviction. It was found that drivers receiving the licensing action had a minimum of 40% fewer reckless driving conviction, crash involvement, fatal and injury crash involvements and total countable convictions during the six year follow-up period. Survival curve analyses indicated the treatment effect attributed to the use of licensing actions existed 42 months for subsequent DUI involvement and 48 months for subsequent crash involvement. Numerous subgroup analyses were reported and countermeasure design implications discussed.
