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

$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.

said, “ but are not fa r enough
along to announce. They may
