POST Thurv, Jan I. 1SB1 (Sec 1) Driver school gets problems on the right track Problem drivers sent by the Oregon Motor Vehicles Division to driver im provement schools do im prove their driving records, and of two schools studied, the most effective is the Budget Supporters of the able and gifted program were asked to return for the third meeting on Friday evening Jan 9. at 7 p.m., when that program w ill be up for consideration Budget c o m m it te e m em bers are M a rv in Hansen of Cottrell, Jeff Jaqua of Sandy, P a tty Klascius of Bull Run, Dan McDonald of Welches and M atthew S heild, J r. of Boring The> anticipate meeting several times w ith district board members weekly. until Jan 26. when they must have completed their examination of the document in order to meet va rio u s deadlines which w ill allow the high school levy issue's inclusion on the March 31 ballot. The d is tric t's to ta l requirements for the coming school year, according to the budget docum ent, are National Safety Council’s Defensive Driving Course These are the prim ary findings of a joint study by the division and the Oregon T ra ffic Safety Commission. The study, carried out by I Continued from Page 1) $4,661,467. Funds available to the district from sources other than the tax to be levied are $2,679,106. The difference, made up by the annual tax levy, is $1,982,362 for the 1981-82 budget. Peters explained that a higher figure than that is levied because an estimated 8 percent of taxes go uncollected. Adding the 8 percent figure to the amount needed to balance the budget yields the d is tric t’s proposal fo r the March 31 levy election: $2,140,951. Peters said this amounts to $4.74 in property taxes per $1,000 of assessed valuation. For the current levy issue, the taxes were $4.90 per $1,000 He attributed the reduction to an increase in assessed valuation of real estate within the district amounting to $63 m illion. the Commission's consulting psychologist. Dr. Noel Kaestner. began more than two years ago and tracked the records of about 1,400 drivers for one fu ll year after they were assigned to a school or placed in a “ no contact” control group on a randomly assigned basis. Although the NSC’s Defensive D riving Course and the T ra ffic V iolator’s Workshop, developed by the Oregon-based National T ra ffic Safety Institute, had nearly identical success in delaying the next conviction or accident. DDC was rated more effective because 46 percent of drivers assigned to it drove trouble-free for one fu ll year. Forty percent of the drivers assigned to the NTS1 course drove for a year without conviction or a chargeable accident. T hirty- eight percent of the control group went a year without trouble. Average delaying effect after assignment to a course was 136 days for NTSI and 137 days for DDC. Those in the control group went only 106 days, about 3 4 months, before another entry. Since 83 percent of Oregon’s drivers go a fu ll year without an accident or conviction, these figures alone, point up that drivers in the d rive r improvement program are fa r from typical drivers, according to DMV A dm inistrator David P. Moomaw. Two analyses were made of the data. One was based on evaluating records of drivers sent to the schools ami the control group, even if the drivers assigned to school did not complete the course to which they were assigned. That study produced the 46 percent success figure for DDC versus the 40 percent figure for the NTSI workshop The second analysis looked only at those drivers who actually completed either course. DDC performed even better in this analysis w ith a success figure of 52 percent trouble-free fo r a year versus 43 percent for the NTSI course graduates. NTSI is taught in one eight- hour Saturday session and is aimed at changing attitudes which affect driver behavior; DDC is usually taught in four two-hour sessions but in some DMV- sponsored courses the eight hours are taught in fewer but Truck found, robbed The year didn’t start off just right for one Sandy man. Last Thursday. Jan. 1, Jack Waibel of Sandy reported the theft of his 1979 Ford pickup truck from his residence. The Sandy police recovered the pickup later that day and took a 15-year- old boy into custody in connection with the theft. Tuesday, Waibel reported that someone broke into the same truck when it was parked on Highway 26 near J a rl Road Monday night. That person took a radio, radio equipment and tools valued at $1,800. He had left the truck parked there when it ran out of gas Sandy police cited Cheryl Shaw of Sandy on Saturday, longer sessions DDC focuses on improving d rive r knowledge and how to prevent basic types of ac cidents. Since NTSI was relatively new to the state when the in itia l study began, a second sample of drivers i without a control group) was selected in June, 1979, to see If more experience for the program and its instructors might change the result. Kaestner said DDC was again favored over NTSI, but the differences were not so great, and there was one surprising finding: those who did not complete either course appeared to have a better chance of driving a fu ll year without trouble than those who completed either course. Kaestner is not sure why, but he thinks this result occurred because “ tim e and cost lim itations” made it impossible to remove from the second sample the records of drivers whose residence in Oregon was not verified for a fu ll year. This was done w ith the first sample group, he said, to make sure the “ im provement” was not because drivers took their poor driving habits and moved to some other state. Kaestner said the findings may mean that DDC’s greater structure, film s made specifically for the course, and more attractive work booklets contribute to higher attention and cooperation levels by these drivers and more efficient use of classroom time. The conclusion, he said, is sup ported by his first-hand observation of the two courses. This is the second Oregon study involving DDC. The firs t study, in 1974, showed that issuing a probationary license or sending a d rive r to a Defensive D riving Course were effective alternatives to license suspension. In that study, Kaestner also noted that while suspension itself was not effective in getting drivers to improve, the threat of suspension served “ as an incentive to get drivers to respond positively” to DDC or the probationary’ license approach. Another Oregon study- found that two-thirds of suspended drivers continue to drive but they drive less and more carefully which, in itself, makes suspension a viable step in dealing with problem drivers, he said. Moomaw said the latest study w ill be used to help the division determine future directions of the state's problem d rive r program. the discussion stage,” he said, “ but are not fa r enough along to announce. They may require changes in the ad m inistrative rule under which the program operates.” t • . • . • . • * < • ’ ’ tipper Cut Hair Company On H w y 212 in Boring Thlx Coupon worth 15.00 Off on Formanont Wavos I A u iit if l J e n w e ry e e ly 66&-6166 A»k A t k f tor or A Karon aren • •_ > e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e * h B 4 BURGLAR FIRE SECURITY ALARM S Gresham Alarm -------:------------------------------------------------ | n c . 3 9 3 7 3 P roctor, P .O .
