Statutes mandating or allowing vehicle-based sanctions for impaired driving exist in many states. These sanctions are usually applied to offenders who repeat the driving while impaired (DWI) offense a certain prescribed number of times within a given time span or who drive while under a license suspension or revocation imposed for an impaired driving offense. Thus, they are of considerable interest as a strategy for dealing with the persistent drinking driver. Vehicle sanctions are of two general types: those which attempt to remove the vehicle from use by the offender altogether by confiscating, impounding or immobilizing it, and those which limit use of the vehicle to times, places or circumstances prescribed by law or the sentence of the court. Vehicle-based sanctions are presumed to serve two general purposes: 1) They add to the incapacitating effects of license sanctions by removing at least one vehicle from potential use by the offender; and 2) they serve as general deterrents for others who might drink and drive or who might drive while suspended or revoked. This paper briefly discusses previous studies of vehicle-based sanctions and reaches several conclusions regarding them.
