Appendix B-21 76 BEHAVIOR C HANGE THEORY Marsh, W.C. (1986). Negligent operator treatment evaluation system: Program effectiveness report no. 2 (Report No. 110). Sacramento: California Department of Motor Vehicles. (Alcohol Notice of Intent) FORMAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO SUSPEND Drivers License No. You are in danger of being legally classified as a negligent operator. This letter is a formal notice that the department intends to suspend your driving privilege unless your record improves dramatically. What is a negligent operator? Negligent driving is determined by a point system. Major convictions, such as hit-and-run, reckless driving, or driving under the influence count two points. Any other traffic convictions involving the unsafe operation of a motor vehicle receive one point. An accident for which you are judged responsible counts one point. Vehicle Code section 128.10 (B) defines a negligent operator as one who has accumulated either six points in one year, eight points in two years, or ten points in three years. Look at you record! Think about it! If you continue to drive as you have been, we intend to take away your drivers license for six months. Can you afford to have that happen? If there is a discrepancy in your driving record, you may contact the Sacramento Department of Motor Vehicles, Area Code (telephone number). CONVICTIONS: ACCIDENTS:
