The original sourcebook, which was reprinted twice, became a frequently cited reference and resource for safety advocates and state leaders. It was the first traffic safety community effort to provide a single, comprehensive resource to assist in reducing fatalities, injuries, and crashes caused by repeat offenders and drivers with high blood alcohol concentration levels of 0.15 and above. It included information on a broad range of policies, laws, sanctions, and treatment programs, and was culled from professionals in the fields of alcohol abuse and traffic safety and from surveys of U.S. territories, special jurisdictions, and every state.
