Marsh, W.C. (1992). Negligent opera<strong>to</strong>r treatment evaluation system: program effectiveness<br />
report # 6 (Detailed Findings). Sacramen<strong>to</strong>: California Department <strong>of</strong> Mo<strong>to</strong>r Vehicles.<br />
(Alcohol Notice <strong>of</strong> Intent Letter)<br />
Drivers License No.<br />
It is <strong>the</strong> responsibility <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Mo<strong>to</strong>r Vehicles <strong>to</strong> track traffic violations<br />
and accidents for all California drivers and <strong>to</strong> suspend <strong>the</strong> driving privilege <strong>of</strong> drivers<br />
who are unsafe. This is done <strong>to</strong> ensure <strong>the</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>to</strong>ring public.<br />
Your current driving record has put you in danger <strong>of</strong> being legally classified as a<br />
Negligent Opera<strong>to</strong>r. This is a formal notice that <strong>the</strong> Department intends <strong>to</strong> suspend<br />
your driving privilege if you receive an additional traffic conviction or are found<br />
responsible for an accident.<br />
A Negligent Opera<strong>to</strong>r is a driver who has accumulated ei<strong>the</strong>r 4 points in 1 year, 6 points<br />
in 2 years, or 8 points in 3 years. By law, points are based on traffic convictions and<br />
accidents. For example, major traffic convictions such as drunk driving, reckless<br />
driving, and hit-and-run count as two points; while o<strong>the</strong>r traffic convictions count as<br />
one. Convictions in a vehicle needing a commercial license or special driver certificate<br />
may receive a higher point count. If we determine you are responsible for an accident,<br />
you will be assessed one point. This may be in addition <strong>to</strong> any traffic conviction for that<br />
accident.<br />
We have printed your driving record below. Your record shows that you have been<br />
convicted <strong>of</strong> a major violation. In most instances major violations involve driving after<br />
drinking. Drivers who have convictions involving drinking and driving represent <strong>the</strong><br />
highest accident risk group in <strong>the</strong> driving population. Almost 50% <strong>of</strong> all fatal accidents<br />
are caused by drunk drivers. Please take <strong>the</strong> time <strong>to</strong> review your driving record.<br />
Remember, <strong>the</strong> safety <strong>of</strong> California’s highways is everyone’s responsibility!<br />
Any o<strong>the</strong>r order already taken in your name continues in full force and effect.<br />
If your driving record is incorrect or you have any questions, please call us at<br />
(telephone number).<br />
