control of a motor vehicle on a
military installation involved in a motor vehicle or criminal infraction shall be
informed that notice of the violation of
law or regulation will be forwarded to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) of
the host State and/or home of
record for the individual, and to the National Register, when applicable.
2–4. Suspension or revocation of driving or privately owned vehicle registration
privileges

The installation commander or designee may for cause, or any lawful reason,
administratively suspend or revoke
driving privileges on the installation. The suspension or revocation of
installation driving privileges or POV registrations,
for lawful reasons unrelated to traffic violations or safe vehicle operation, is
not limited or restricted by this
regulation.

a. Suspension.
(1) Driving privileges are usually suspended when other measures fail to improve a
driver’s performance. Measures
should include counseling, remedial driving training, and rehabilitation programs
if violator is entitled to the programs.
Driving privileges may also be suspended for up to 6 months if a driver continually
violates installation parking
regulations. The commander will determine standards for suspension based on
frequency of parking violations and
publish those standards. Aboard Navy installations, any vehicle parked in a fire
lane will be towed at the owner’s
expense. Any vehicle parked without authorization in an area restricted due to
force protection measures may subject
the driver to immediate suspension by the installation commanding officer. Vehicle
will be towed at the owner’s and/or
operator’s expense.
(2) The installation commander has discretionary power to withdraw the
authorization of active duty military
personnel, DOD civilian employees, nonappropriated funds (NAF) employees,
contractors, and subcontractors to
operate Government vehicles.
(3) Immediate suspension of installation or overseas command POV driving privileges
pending resolution of an
intoxicated driving incident is authorized for active duty military personnel,
family members, retired members of the
military services, DOD civilian personnel, and others with installation or overseas
command driving privileges,
regardless of the geographic location of the intoxicated driving incident.
Suspension is authorized for non–DOD
affiliated civilians only with respect to incidents occurring on the installation
or in areas subject to military traffic
supervision. After a review of available information as specified in paragraph 2–6,
installation driving privileges will
be immediately suspended pending resolution of the intoxicated driving accident in
the following circumstances:
(a) Refusal to take or complete a lawfully requested chemical test to determine
contents of blood for alcohol or
other drugs.
(b) Operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent by
volume (0.08 grams per 100
milliliters) or higher or in violation of the law of the jurisdiction that is being
assimilated on the military installation.
(c) Operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of 0.05 percent by volume but less than
0.08 percent blood alcohol by
volume in violation of the law of the jurisdiction in which the vehicle is being
operated if the jurisdiction imposes a
suspension solely on the basis of the BAC level (as measured in grams per 100
milliliters).
(d) On an arrest report or other official documentation of the circumstances of an
apprehension for intoxicated
driving.
b. Revocation.
(1) The revocation of installation or overseas command POV driving privileges is a
severe administrative measure to
be exercised for serious moving violations or when other available corrective
actions fail to produce the desired driver
improvement. Revocation of the driving privilege will be for a specified period but
never less than 6 months; apply at
all military installations; and remain in effect upon reassignment.
(2) Driving privileges are subject to revocation when an individual fails to comply
with any of the conditions
requisite to the granting privilege (see para 2–1). Revocation of installation
driving and registration privileges is
authorized for military personnel, family members, DOD civilian employees,
contractors, and other individuals with
installation driving privileges. For civilian guests, revocation is authorized only
with respect to incidents occurring on
the installation or in the areas subject to military traffic supervision.
(3) Driving privileges will be revoked for a mandatory period of not less than 1
year in the following circumstances:
(a) The installation commander or designee has determined that the person lawfully
apprehended for driving under
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
the influence refused to submit to or complete a test to measure the alcohol
content in the blood, or detect the presence
of any other drug as required by the law of the jurisdiction or installation
traffic code or by Service directive.

(b) A conviction, nonjudicial punishment, or a military or civilian administrative


action resulting in the suspension
or revocation of driver’s license for intoxicated driving. Appropriate official
documentation of such conviction is
required as the basis for revocation.
(4) When temporary suspensions under paragraph a(3), above, are followed by
revocations, the period of revocation
is computed beginning from the date the original suspension was imposed, exclusive
of any period during which full
driving privileges may have been restored pending resolution of charges. (Example:
privileges were initially suspended
on 1 January 2000 for a charge of intoxicated driving with a BAC of 0.14 percent. A
hearing was held, extreme family
hardship was substantiated, and privileges were restored on 1 February pending
resolution of the charge. On 1 March
2000, the driver was convicted for intoxicated driving. The mandatory 1–year
revocation period will consist of January
2000 plus March 2000 through January 2001, for a total of 12 months with no
installation driving privileges.)
c. Automated Vehicle Registration System. Army provost marshals will use the
automated VRS to develop and
maintain records showing that an individual’s driving privileges have been revoked.
2–5. Remedial driver training programs

a. Navy activities will comply with OPNAVINST 5100.12 series, and Marine Corps
activities with current edition
of MCO 5100.19E for establishment of remedial training programs.
b. Installation commanders may establish a remedial driver–training program to
instruct and educate personnel
requiring additional training. Personnel may be referred to a remedial program on
the basis of their individual driving
history or incidents requiring additional training. The curriculum should provide
instruction to improve driving
performance and compliance with traffic laws.
c. Installation commanders may schedule periodic courses, or if not practical,
arrange for participation in courses
conducted by local civil authorities.
d. Civilian personnel employed on the installation, contractor employees, and
family members of military personnel
may attend remedial courses on the installation, or similar courses off the
installation, which incur no expense to the
Government.
2–6. Administrative due process for suspensions and revocations

a. Individual Services will promulgate separate regulations establishing


administrative due process procedures for
suspension or revocation of driving privileges. The procedures in paragraphs b and
c, below, apply to actions taken by
Army commanders with respect to Army military personnel and family members and to
civilian personnel operating
motor vehicles on Army installations. For Marine Corps users, the provisions of
this paragraph apply. For Air Force
users, a preliminary suspension for intoxicated driving remains in effect until the
installation commander makes a final
decision. Requested hearings must take place within a reasonable period, which is
determined by the installation
commander.
b. For offenses other than intoxicated driving, suspension or revocation of the
installation driving privilege will not
become effective until the installation commander or designee notifies the affected
person and offers that person an
administrative hearing. Suspension or revocation will take place 14 calendar days
after written notice is received unless
the affected person makes an application for a hearing within this period. Such
application will stay the pending
suspension or revocation for a period of 14 calendar days.
(1) If, due to action by the Government, a hearing is not held within 14 calendar
days, the suspension will not take
place until such time as the person is granted a hearing and is notified of the
action of the installation commander or
designee. However, if the affected person requests that the hearing be continued to
a date beyond the 14–day period,
the suspension or revocation will become effective immediately on receipt of notice
that the request for continuance
has been granted, and remain in force pending a hearing at a scheduled hearing
date.
(2) If it is determined as a result of a hearing to suspend or revoke the affected
person’s driving privilege, the
suspension or revocation will become effective when the person receives the written
notification of such action. In the
event that written notification cannot be verified either through a return receipt
for mail or delivery through command
channels, the hearing authority will determine the effective date on a case–by–case
basis.
(3) If the revocation or suspension is imposed after such hearing, the person whose
driving privilege has been
suspended or revoked will have the right to appeal or request reconsideration. Such
requests must be forwarded through
command channels to the installation commander within 14 calendar days from the
date the individual is notified of the
suspension or revocation resulting from the administrative hearing. The suspension
or revocation will remain in effect
pending a final ruling on the request. Requests for restricted privileges will be
considered per paragraph 2–10.
(4) If driving privileges are temporarily restored (that is, for family hardship)
pending resolution of charges, the
period of revocation (after final authority determination) will still total the
mandatory 12 months. The final date of the
revocation will be adjusted to account for the period when the violator’s
privileges were temporarily restored, as this
period does not count towards the revocation time.
c. For drunk driving or driving under the influence offenses, reliable evidence
readily available will be presented
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
promptly to an individual designated by the installation commander for review and
authorization for immediate
suspension of installation driving privileges.

(1) The reviewer should be any officer to include GS–11 and above, designated in
writing by the installation or
garrison commander whose primary duties are not in the field of law enforcement.
(2) Reliable evidence includes witness statements, military or civilian police
report of apprehension, chemical test
results if completed, refusal to consent to complete chemical testing, videotapes,
statements by the apprehended
individual, field sobriety or preliminary breath tests results, and other pertinent
evidence. Immediate suspension should
not be based solely on published lists of arrested persons, statements by parties
not witnessing the apprehension, or
telephone conversations or other information not supported by documented and
reliable evidence.
(3) Reviews normally will be accomplished within the first normal duty day
following final assembly of evidence.
(4) Installation commanders may authorize the installation law enforcement officer
to conduct reviews and authorize
suspensions in cases where the designated reviewer is not reasonably available and,
in the judgment of the installation
law enforcement officer, such immediate action is warranted. Air Force Security
Forces personnel act in an advisory
capacity to installation commanders. Review by the designated officer will follow
as soon as practical in such cases.
When a suspension notice is based on the law enforcement officer’s review, there is
no requirement for confirmation
notice following subsequent review by the designated officer.
(5) For active duty military personnel, final written notice of suspension for
intoxicated driving will be provided to
the individual’s chain of command for immediate presentation to the individual. Air
Force Security Forces provide a
copy of the temporary suspension to the individual at the time of the incident or
may provide a copy of the final
determination at the time of the incident, as predetermined by the final action
authority.
(6) For civilian personnel, written notice of suspension for intoxicated driving
will normally be provided without
delay via certified mail. Air Force Security Forces personnel provide a copy of the
temporary suspension to the
individual at the time of the incident or may provide a copy of the final
determination at the time of the incident, as
predetermined by the final action authority. If the person is employed on the
installation, such notice will be forwarded
through the military or civilian supervisor. When the notice of suspension is
forwarded through the supervisor, the
person whose privileges are suspended will be required to provide written
acknowledgment of receipt of the suspension
notice.
(7) Notices of suspension for intoxicated driving will include the following:
(a) The fact that the suspension can be made a revocation under paragraph 2–4b.
(b) The right to request, in writing, a hearing before the installation commander
or designee to determine if post
driving privileges will be restored pending resolution of the charge; and that such
request must be made within 14
calendar days of the final notice of suspension.
(c) The right of military personnel to be represented by counsel at his or her own
expense and to present evidence
and witnesses at his or her own expense. Installation commanders will determine the
availability of any local active
duty representatives requested.
(d) The right of DOD civilian employees to have a personal representative present
at the administrative hearing in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
(e) Written acknowledgment of receipt to be signed by the individual whose
privileges are to be suspended or
revoked.
(8) If a hearing is requested, it must take place within 14 calendar days of
receipt of the request. The suspension for
intoxicated driving will remain in effect until a decision has been made by the
installation commander or designee, but
will not exceed 14 calendar days after the hearing while awaiting the decision. If
no decision has been made by that
time, full driving privileges will be restored until such time as the accused is
notified of a decision to continue the
suspension.
(9) Hearing on suspension actions under paragraph 2–4a for drunk or impaired
driving pending resolution of charges
will cover only the following pertinent issues of whether:
(a) The law enforcement official had reasonable grounds to believe the person was
driving or in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
(b) The person was lawfully cited or apprehended for a driving under the influence
offense.
(c) The person was lawfully requested to submit his or her blood, breath, or urine
in order to determine the content
of alcohol or other drugs, and was informed of the implied consent policy
(consequences of refusal to take or complete
the test).
(d) The person refused to submit to the test for alcohol or other drug content of
blood, breath, or urine; failed to
complete the test; submitted to the test and the result was 0.08 or higher BAC, or
between 0.05 and 0.08 in violation of
the law of the jurisdiction in which the vehicle in being operated if the
jurisdiction imposes a suspension solely on the
basis of the BAC level; or showed results indicating the presence of other drugs
for an on–post apprehension or in
violation of State laws for an off–post apprehension.
(e) The testing methods were valid and reliable and the results accurately
evaluated.
(10) For revocation actions under paragraph 2–4b(3) for intoxicated driving, the
revocation is mandatory on
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
conviction or other findings that confirm the charge. (Pleas of nolo contendere are
considered equivalent to guilty
pleas.)

(a) Revocations are effective as of the date of conviction or other findings that
confirm the charges. Test refusal
revocations will be in addition to any other revocation incurred during a hearing.
Hearing authority will determine if
revocations for multiple offenses will run consecutively or concurrently taking
into consideration if offenses occurred
on same occasion or different times, dates. The exception is that test refusal will
be one year automatic revocation in
addition to any other suspension.
(b) The notice that revocation is automatic may be placed in the suspension letter.
If it does not appear in the
suspension letter, a separate letter must be sent and revocation is not effective
until receipt of the written notice.
(c) Revocations cancel any full or restricted driving privileges that may have been
restored during suspension and
the resolution of the charges. Requests for restoration of full driving privileges
are not authorized.
(11) The Army VRS will be utilized to maintain infractions by individuals on Army
installations.
2–7. Army administrative actions against intoxicated drivers

Army commanders will take appropriate action against intoxicated drivers. These
actions may include the following:

a. A written reprimand, administrative in nature, will be issued to active duty


soldiers in the cases described below.
Any general officer, and any officer frocked to the grade of brigadier general, may
issue this reprimand. Filing of the
reprimand will be in accordance with the provisions of AR 600–37.
(1) Conviction by courts–martial or civilian court or imposition of nonjudicial
punishment for an offense of drunk or
impaired driving either on or off the installation.
(2) Refusal to take or failure to complete a lawfully requested test to measure
alcohol or drug content of the blood,
breath, or urine, either on or off the installation, when there is reasonable
belief of driving under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
(3) Driving or being in physical control of a motor vehicle on post when the BAC is
0.08 percent or higher,
irrespective of other charges, or on off post when the BAC is in violation of the
law of the State involved.
(4) Driving, or being in physical control of a motor vehicle, either on or off the
installation, when lawfully
conducted chemical tests reflect the presence of illegal drugs.
b. Review by the commander of the Service records of active duty soldiers
apprehended for offenses described in
paragraph a, above, to determine if any of the following actions should be taken:
(1) Administrative reduction per AR 600–8–19.
(2) Bar to reenlistment per AR 601–280.
(3) Administrative separation per AR 635–200.
2–8. Alcohol and drug abuse programs

a. Commanders will refer military personnel suspected of drug or alcohol abuse for
evaluation in the following
circumstances:
(1) Behavior indicative of alcohol or drug abuse.
(2) Continued inability to drive a motor vehicle safely because of alcohol or drug
abuse.
b. The commander will ensure military personnel are referred to the installation
alcohol and drug abuse program or
other comparable facilities when they are convicted of, or receive an official
administrative action for, any offense
involving driving under the influence. A first offender may be referred to
treatment if evidence of substance abuse
exists in addition to the offense of intoxicated driving. The provisions of this
paragraph do not limit the commander’s
prerogatives concerning other actions that may be taken against an offender under
separate Service/agency polices (for
Army, see AR 600–85; for Marine Corps, see MCO P1700.24B).
c. Active duty Army personnel apprehended for drunk driving, on or off the
installation, will be referred to the local
Army substance abuse program for evaluation within 14 calendar days to determine if
the person is dependent on
alcohol or other drugs, which will result in enrollment in treatment in accordance
with AR 600–85. A copy of all
reports on military personnel and DOD civilian employees apprehended for
intoxicated driving will be forwarded to the
installation alcohol and drug abuse facility.
d. Active duty Navy personnel apprehended for drunk driving on or off the
installation will be screened by the
respective Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program facility within 14 calendar days
to determine if the individual is
dependent on alcohol or other drugs. Active duty Marines apprehended for
intoxicated driving, on or off the
installation, will be referred to interview by a Level II substance abuse counselor
within 14 calendar days for
evaluation and determination of the appropriate level of treatment required.
Subsequent to this evaluation, the Marine
will be assigned to the appropriate treatment programs as prescribed by MCO
P1700.24B.
e. The Services/agencies may develop preventive treatment and rehabilitative
programs for civilian employees with
alcohol–related problems.
f. Army supervisors of civilian employees apprehended for intoxicated driving will
advise employees of Army
substance abuse program services available. Civilian employees apprehended for
intoxicated driving while on duty will
be referred to the Army substance abuse program or comparable facility for
evaluation in accordance with AR 600–85.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
Army commanders will ensure that sponsors encourage family members apprehended for
drunk driving seek Army
substance abuse program evaluation and assistance.

g. Navy and DLA civilian personnel charged with intoxicated driving will be
referred to the Civilian Employee
Assistance Program in accordance with Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, Part
792 (5 CFR 792). Such referral does
not exempt the employee from appropriate administrative or disciplinary actions
under civilian personnel regulations.
h. Marine Corps civilian employees charged with intoxicated driving, on or off the
installation, will be referred to
the Employee Assistance Program as prescribed by MCO P1700.24B. Marine family
members charged with intoxicated
driving, on or off the installation, will be provided assistance as addressed in
MCO P1700.24B. Such referral and
assistance does not exempt the individual from appropriate administrative or
disciplinary action under current civilian
personnel regulations or State laws.
i. For the Army, DLA, and the Marine Corps, installation driving privileges of any
person who refuses to submit to,
or fails to complete, chemical testing for BAC when apprehended for intoxicated
driving, or convicted of intoxicated
driving, will not be reinstated unless the person successfully completes either an
alcohol education or treatment
program sponsored by the installation, State, county, or municipality, or other
program evaluated as acceptable by the
installation commander.
j. Active duty Air Force personnel apprehended for drunk driving, on or off the
installation, will be referred by their
respective chain of command to the Air Force Substance Abuse office for evaluation
in accordance with AFI 44–121
and local policies within 7 days.
k. Local installation commanders will determine if active duty Air Force personnel
involved in any alcohol incident
will immediately be subjected to a urinalysis for drug content. If consent is not
given for the test, a command–directed
test will be administered in accordance with local policies.
2–9. Restoration of driving privileges upon acquittal of intoxicated driving

The suspension of driving privileges for military and civilian personnel shall be
restored if a final disposition indicates
a finding of not guilty, charges are dismissed or reduced to an offense not
amounting to intoxicated driving, or where
an equivalent determination is made in a nonjudicial proceeding. The following are
exceptions to the rule in which
suspensions will continue to be enforced:

a. The preliminary suspension was based on refusal to take a BAC test.


b. The preliminary suspension resulted from a valid BAC test (unless disposition of
the charges was based on
invalidity of the BAC test). In the case of a valid BAC test, the suspension will
continue, pending completion of a
hearing as specified in paragraph 2–6. In such instances, the individual will be
notified in writing that the suspension
will continue and of the opportunity to request a hearing within 14 calendar days.
(1) At the hearing, the arrest report, the commander’s report of official
disposition, information presented by the
individual, and such other information as the hearing officer may deem appropriate
will be considered.
(2) If the hearing officer determines by preponderance of evidence that the
individual was engaged in intoxicated
driving, the revocation will be for 1 year from the date of the original
preliminary suspension.
c. The person was driving or in physical control of a motor vehicle while under a
preliminary suspension or
revocation.
d. An administrative determination has been made by the State or host nation
licensing authority to suspend or
revoke driving privileges.
e. The individual has failed to complete a formally directed substance abuse or
driver’s training program.
2–10. Restricted driving privileges or probation

a. For the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and DLA, the installation commander, or
his or her designee, may
modify a suspension or revocation of driving privileges in certain cases per
paragraph d, below.
b. Army requests for restricted driving privileges subsequent to suspension or
revocation of installation driving
privileges will be referred to the installation commander or designee, except for
intoxicated driving cases, which must
be referred to the General Court Martial Convening Authority. Withdrawal of
restricted driving privileges is within the
installation commander’s discretion.
c. Probation or restricted driving privileges will not be granted to any person
whose driver license or right to operate
motor vehicles is under suspension or revocation by a State, Federal, or host
nation licensing authority. Prior to
application for probation or restricted driving privileges, a State, Federal, or
host nation driver’s license or right to
operate motor vehicles must be reinstated. The burden of proof for reinstatement of
driving privileges lies with the
person applying for probation or restricted driving privileges. Revocations for
test refusals shall remain.
d. The installation commander or designee may grant restricted driving privileges
or probation on a case–by–case
basis provided the person’s State or host nation driver’s license or right to
operate motor vehicles remains valid to
accommodate any of the following reasons:
(1) Mission requirements.
(2) Unusual personal or family hardships.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
(3) Delays exceeding 90 days, not attributed to the person concerned, in the formal
disposition of an apprehension
or charges that are the basis for any type of suspension or revocation.
(4) When there is no reasonably available alternate means of transportation to
officially assigned duties. In this
instance, a limited exception can be granted for the sole purpose of driving
directly to and from the place of duty.
e. The terms and limitations on a restricted driving privilege (for example,
authorization to drive to and from place
of employment or duty, or selected installation facilities such as hospital,
commissary, and or other facilities) will be
specified in writing and provided to the individual concerned. Persons found in
violation of the restricted privilege are
subject to revocation action as prescribed in paragraph 2–4.
f. The conditions and terms of probation will be specified in writing and provided
to the individual concerned. The
original suspension or revocation term in its entirety may be activated to commence
from the date of the violation of
probation. In addition, separate action may be initiated based on the commission of
any traffic, criminal, or military
offense that constitutes a probation violation.
g. Any DOD employees and contractors, who can demonstrate that suspension or
revocation of installation driving
privileges would constructively remove them from employment, may be given a
limiting suspension/revocation that
restricts driving on the installation or activity (or in the overseas command) to
the most direct route to and from their
respective work sites (see 5 USC 2302(b)(10)). This is not to be construed as
limiting the commander from suspension
or revocation of on–duty driving privileges or seizure of OF 346, even if this
action would constructively remove a
person from employment in those instances in which the person’s duty requires
driving from place to place on the
installation.
2–11. Reciprocal State–military action

a. Commanders will recognize the interests of the States in matters of POV


administration and driver licensing.
Statutory authority may exist within some States or host nations for reciprocal
suspension and revocation of driving
privileges. See chapter 4 of this regulation for additional information on
exchanging and obtaining information with
civilian law enforcement agencies concerning infractions by Armed Service personnel
off post. Installation commanders
will honor the reciprocal authority and direct the installation law enforcement
officer to pursue reciprocity with
State or host nation licensing authorities. Upon receipt of written or other
official law enforcement communication
relative to the suspension/revocation of driving privileges, the receiving
installation will terminate driving privileges as
if violations occurred within its own jurisdiction.
b. When imposing a suspension or revocation for an off–installation offense, the
effective date should be the same
as civil disposition, or the date that State or host nation driving privileges are
suspended or revoked. This effective date
can be retroactive.
c. If statutory authority does not exist within the State or host nation for formal
military reciprocity, the following
procedures will be adopted:
(1) Commanders will recognize official documentation of suspensions/revocations
imposed by State or host nation
authorities. Administrative actions (suspension/revocations, or if recognized,
point assessment) for moving traffic
violations off the installation should not be less than required for similar
offenses on the installation. When notified by
State or host nation authorities of a suspension or revocation, the person’s OF 346
may also be suspended.
(2) In CONUS, the host and issuing State licensing authority will be notified as
soon as practical when a person’s
installation driving privileges are suspended or revoked for any period, and
immediately for refusal to submit to a
lawful BAC test. The notification will be sent to the appropriate State DMV per
reciprocal agreements. In the absence
of electronic communication technology, the appropriate State DMV will be notified
by official certified mail. The
notification will include the basis for the suspension/revocation and the BAC level
if applicable.
d. In OCONUS installations, commanders must follow provisions of the applicable
status of forces agreement
(SOFA), the law of the host nation concerning reciprocal suspension and revocation,
and other international agreements.
To the extent an agreement concerning reciprocity may be permitted at a particular
overseas installation, the
commander must have prior authorization to negotiate and conclude such an
international agreement in accordance
with applicable international agreements, DODD 5530.3, and other individual Service
instructions.
2–12. Extensions of suspensions and revocations

a. Driving in violation of a suspension or revocation imposed under this regulation


will result in the original period
of suspension or revocation being increased by 2 years. In addition, administrative
action may be initiated based on the
commission of any traffic, criminal, or military offenses, for example, active duty
military personnel driving on the
installation in violation of a lawful order.
b. For each subsequent determination within a 5 year period that revocation is
authorized under paragraph 2–4b,
military personnel, DOD civilians, contractors, and NAF employees will be
prohibited from obtaining or using an OF
346 for 6 months for each such incident. A determination whether DOD civilian
personnel should be prohibited from
obtaining or using an OF 346 will be made in accordance with the laws and
regulations applicable to civilian
personnel. This does not preclude a commander from imposing such prohibition for a
first offense, or for a longer
period of time for a first or subsequent offense, or for such other reasons as may
be authorized.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
c. Commanders may extend a suspension or revocation of driving privileges on
personnel until completion of an
approved remedial driver training course or alcohol or drug counseling programs
after proof is provided.
d. Commanders may extend a suspension or revocation of driving privileges on
civilian personnel convicted of
intoxicated driving on the installation until successful completion of a State or
installation approved alcohol or drug
rehabilitation program.
e. For Navy personnel for good cause, the appropriate authority may withdraw the
restricted driving privilege and
continue the suspension or revocation period (for example, driver at fault in the
traffic accident, or driver cited for a
moving violation).
2–13. Reinstatement of driving privileges

Reinstatement of driving privileges shall be automatic, provided all revocations


applicable have expired, proper proof
of completion of remedial driving course and/or substance abuse counseling has been
provided, and reinstatement
requirements of individual’s home State and/or State the individual may have been
suspended in, have been met.

Chapter 3
Motor Vehicle Registration

3–1. Registration policy

a. Motor vehicles will be registered according to guidance in this regulation and


in policies of each Service and
DLA. A person who lives or works on an Army, DLA, Air Force, Navy, or Marine Corps
installation, or Army
National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States facility, or often uses the
facilities is required to register his
or her vehicle. Also, individuals who access the installation for regular
activities such as use of medical facilities and
regular recurring activities on the installation should register their vehicles
according to a standard operating procedure
established by the installation commander. The person need not own the vehicle to
register it, but must have a lease
agreement, power of attorney, or notarized statement from the owner of the vehicle
specifying the inclusive dates for
which permission to use the vehicle has been granted.
b. Vehicles intended for construction and material handling, or used solely off the
road, are usually not registered as
motor vehicles Installation commanders may require registration of off–road
vehicles and bicycles under a separate
local system.
c. Commanders can grant limited temporary registration for up to 30 days, pending
permanent registration, or in
other circumstances for longer terms.
d. Except for reasons of security, all installations and activities of the Services
and DLA within the United States
and its territories with a VRS will use and honor the DD Form 2220. Registration in
overseas commands may be
modified in accordance with international agreements or military necessity.
e. Army Installation commanders will establish local visitor identification for
individuals who will be on installation
for less than 30 days. The local policy will provide for use of temporary passes
that establish a start and end date for
which the pass is valid. Army installation commanders must refer to AR 190–16,
chapter 2, for guidance concerning
installation access control (Air Force, see AFI 31–204). Other Armed Services and
DLA may develop and issue visitor
passes locally.
f. The conditions in paragraph 3–2 must be met to operate a POV on an Army and DLA
installation. Other Armed
Services that do not require registration will enforce paragraph 3–2 through
traffic enforcement actions. Additionally,
failure to comply with paragraph 3–2 may result in administrative suspension or
revocation of driving privileges.
3–2. Privately owned vehicle operation requirements

Personnel seeking to register their POVs on military installations within the


United States or its territories and in
overseas areas will comply with the requirements listed below. (Registration in
overseas commands may be modified in
accordance with international agreements or military necessity.)

a. Possess a valid State, overseas command, host nation, or international driver’s


license (within appropriate
classification), supported by DD Form 2 series (ACT), or other appropriate
identification for DOD civilians, contractors,
and retirees. The DA Form 1602, is limited for identification on Army installations
only.
b. Possess a certificate of State registration as required by the State in which
the vehicle is registered.
c. Comply with the minimum requirements of the automobile insurance laws or
regulations of the State or host
nation. In overseas commands where host nation laws do not require minimum personal
injury and property damage
liability insurance, the major overseas commander will set reasonable liability
insurance requirements for registration
and/or operation of POVs within the confines of military installations and areas
where the commander exercises
jurisdiction. Prior to implementation, insurance requirements in host states or
nations should be formally coordinated
with the appropriate host agency.
d. Satisfactorily complete a safety and mechanical vehicle inspection by the State
or jurisdiction in which the
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
vehicle is licensed. If neither State nor local jurisdiction requires a periodic
safety inspection, installation commanders
may require and conduct an annual POV safety inspection; however, inspection
facilities must be reasonably accessible
to those requiring use. Inspections will meet minimum standards established by the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in 49 CFR 570.1 through 570.10. Lights, turn signals, brake
lights, horn, wipers, and
pollution control devices and standards in areas where applicable, should be
included in the inspection. Vehicles
modified from factory standards and determined unsafe may be denied access and
registration.

e. Possess current proof of compliance with local vehicle emission inspection if


required by the State, and
maintenance requirements.
f. Vehicles with elevated front or rear ends that have been modified in a
mechanically unsafe manner are unsafe and
will be denied registration. The 49 CFR 570.8 states that springs shall not be
extended above the vehicle manufacturer’s
design height.
3–3. Department of Defense Form 2220

a. Use. The DD Form 2220 will be used to identify registered POVs on Army, Navy,
Air Force, Marine Corps, and
DLA installations or facilities. The form is produced in single copy for
conspicuous placement on the front of the
vehicle only (windshield or bumper). If allowed by State laws, the decal is placed
in the center by the rear view mirror
or the lower portion of the driver’s side windshield. The requirement to affix the
DD Form 2220 to the front
windshield or bumper of registered vehicles is waived for general officers and flag
officers of all Armed Services,
Armed Service Secretaries, political appointees, members of Congress, and the
diplomatic corps.
(1) Each Service and DLA will procure its own forms and installation and expiration
tabs. For the Army, the basic
decal will be ordered through publications channels and remain on the vehicle until
the registered owner disposes of
the vehicle, separates from active duty or other conditions specified in paragraph
(2), below. Air Force, DLA, and
Army retirees may retain DD Form 2220. Army retirees are required to follow the
same registration and VRS
procedures as active duty personnel. Upon termination of affiliation with the
Service, the registered owner or
authorized operator is responsible for removing the DD Form 2220 from the vehicle
and surrender of the decal to the
issuing office. Army installation commanders are responsible for the costs of
procuring decals with the name of their
installation and related expiration tabs. Air Force installations will use the
installation tag (4” by 1⁄2”) to identify the Air
Force installation where the vehicle is registered. Air Force personnel may retain
the DD Form 2220 upon reassignment,
retirement, or separation provided the individual is still eligible for continued
registration, the registration is
updated in SFMIS, and the installation tab is changed accordingly. Position the
decal directly under the DD Form
2220.
(2) For other Armed Services and DLA, the DD Form 2220 and installation and
expiration tabs will be removed
from POVs by the owner prior to departure from their current installation,
retirement, or separation from military or
Government affiliation, termination of ownership, registration, liability
insurance, or other conditions further identified
by local policy.
b. Specifications.
(1) The DD Form 2220 and installation and expiration tabs will consist of
international blue borders and printing on
a white background. Printer information will include the following:
(a) Form title (Department of Defense Registered Vehicle).
(b) Alphanumeric individual form identification number.
(c) The DOD seal.
(2) Name of the installation will be specified on a separate tab abutting the
decal. Each Service or DLA may choose
optional color codes for the registrant. Army and installations having vehicle
registration programs will use the
following standard color scheme for the installation tab:
(a) Blue–officers.
(b) Red–enlisted.
(c) Green DA civilian employees (including NAF employees).
(d) Black–contractor personnel and other civilians employed on the installation.
White will be used for contract
personnel on Air Force installations.
(3) An expiration tab identifying the month and year (6–2004), the year (2000) or
simply “00” will be abutted to
right of the decal. For identification purposes, the date of expiration will be
shown in bold block numbers on a lighter
contrasting background such as traffic yellow, lime, or orange.
(4) The DD Form 2220 and any adjoining tabs will be theft resistant when applied to
glass, metal, painted, or
rubberized surfaces and manufactured so as to obliterate or self destruct when
removal is attempted. Local policy
guided by State or host nation laws will specify the exact placement of DD Form
2220.
(5) For Navy and Marine Corps military personnel the grade insignia will be affixed
on placards, approximately 5
inches by 8 inches in size, and placed on the driver’s side dashboard. Placards
should be removed from view when the
vehicle is not located on a military installation.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
3–4. Termination or denial of registration

Installation commanders or their designated representatives will terminate POV


registration or deny initial registration
under the following conditions (decal and tabs will be removed from the vehicle
when registration is terminated):

a. The owner fails to comply with the registration requirements.


b. The owner sells or disposes of the POV, is released from active duty, separated
from the Service, or terminates
civilian employment with a military Service or DOD agency. Army and Air Force
personnel on a permanent change of
station will retain the DD Form 2220 if the vehicle is moved to their new duty
station.
c. The owner is other than an active duty military or civilian employee and
discontinues regular operations of the
POV on the installation.
d. The owner’s State, overseas command, or host nation driver’s license is
suspended or revoked, or the installation
driving privilege is revoked. Air Force does not require removal of the of the DD
Form 2220 when driving privileges
are suspended for an individual. When vehicle registration is terminated in
conjunction with the revocation of
installation driving privileges, the affected person must apply to reregister the
POV after the revocation expires.
Registration should not be terminated if other family members having installation
driving privileges require use of the
vehicle.
3–5. Specified consent to impoundment

Personnel registering POVs on DOD installations must consent to the impoundment


policy. The POV registration
forms will contain or have appended to them a certificate with the following
statement: “I am aware that (insert
number and title of separate Service or DLA directive) and the installation traffic
code provide for the removal and
temporary impoundment of privately owned motor vehicles that are either parked
illegally, or for unreasonable periods,
interfering with military operations, creating a safety hazard, disabled by
accident, left unattended in a restricted or
control area, or abandoned. I agree to reimburse the United States for the cost of
towing and storage should my motor
vehicle, because of such circumstances, be removed and impounded.”

Chapter 4
Traffic Supervision

Section I
Traffic Planning and Codes

4–1. Traffic planning

a. Safe and efficient movement of traffic on an installation requires traffic


supervision. A traffic supervision
program includes traffic circulation planning and control of motor vehicle traffic;
publication and enforcement of traffic
laws and regulations; and investigation of motor vehicle accidents.
b. Installation commanders will develop traffic circulation plans that provide for
the safest and most efficient use of
primary and secondary roads. Circulation planning should be a major part of all
long–range master planning at
installations. The traffic circulation plan is developed by the installation law
enforcement officer, engineer, safety
officer, and other concerned staff agencies. Highway engineering representatives
from adjacent civil communities must
be consulted to ensure the installation plan is compatible with the current and
future circulation plan of the community.
The plan should include the following:
(1) Normal and peak load routing based on traffic control studies.
(2) Effective control of traffic using planned direction, including measures for
special events and adverse road or
weather conditions.
(3) Point control at congested locations by law enforcement personnel or designated
traffic directors or wardens,
including trained school–crossing guards.
(4) Use of traffic control signs and devices.
(5) Efficient use of available parking facilities.
(6) Efficient use of mass transportation.
c. Traffic control studies will provide factual data on existing roads, traffic
density and flow patterns, and points of
congestion. The installation law enforcement officer and traffic engineer usually
conduct coordinated traffic control
studies to obtain the data. Accurate data will help determine major and minor
routes, location of traffic control devices,
and conditions requiring engineering or enforcement services.
d. The (Military) Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation
Engineering Agency will help
installation commanders solve complex highway traffic engineering problems. The
Surface Deployment and Distribution
Command Transportation Engineering Agency traffic engineering services include—
(1) Traffic studies of limited areas and situations.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
(2) Complete studies of traffic operations of entire installations. (This can
include long–range planning for future
development of installation roads, public highways, and related facilities.)
(3) Assistance in complying with established traffic engineering standards.
e. Installation commanders should submit requests for traffic engineering services
in accordance with applicable
Service or agency directives.
4–2. Installation traffic codes

a. Installation or activity commanders will establish a traffic code for operation


of motor vehicles on the installation.
Commanders in overseas areas will establish a traffic code, under provisions of
this regulation, to the extent military
authority is empowered to regulate traffic on the installation under the applicable
SOFA. Traffic codes will contain the
rules of the road (parking violations, towing instructions, safety equipment, and
other key provisions). These codes
will, where possible, conform to the code of the State or host nation in which the
installation is located. In addition, the
development and publication of installation traffic codes will be based on the
following:
(1) Highway Safety Program Standards (23 USC 402).
(2) Applicable portions of the Uniform Vehicle Code and Model Traffic Ordinance
published by the National
Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances.
b. The installation traffic code will contain policy and procedures for the towing,
searching, impounding, and
inventorying of POVs. These provisions should be well publicized and contain the
following:
(1) Specific violations and conditions under which the POV will be impounded and
towed.
(2) Procedures to immediately notify the vehicle owner.
(3) Procedures for towing and storing impounded vehicles.
(4) Actions to dispose of the vehicle after lawful impoundment.
(5) Violators are responsible for all costs of towing, storage, and impounding of
vehicles for other than evidentiary
reasons.
c. Installation traffic codes will also contain the provisions discussed below.
(Army users, see AR 385–55.)
(1) Motorcycles and mopeds. For motorcycles and other self–propelled, open, 2–
wheel, 3–wheel, and 4–wheel
vehicles powered by a motorcycle–type engine, the following traffic rules apply:
(a) Headlights will be on at all times when in operation.
(b) A rear view mirror will be attached to each side of the handlebars.
(c) Approved protective helmets, eye protection, hard–soled shoes, long trousers,
and brightly colored or reflective
outer upper garment will be worn by operators and passengers when in operation.
(2) Restraint systems.
(a) Restraint systems (seat belts) will be worn by all operators and passengers of
U.S. Government vehicles on or
off the installation.
(b) Restraint systems will be worn by all civilian personnel (family members,
guests, and visitors) driving or riding
in a POV on the installation.
(c) Restraint systems will be worn by all military Service members and Reserve
Component members on active
Federal Service driving or riding in a POV whether on or off the installation.
(d) Infant/child restraint devices (car seats) will be required in POVs for
children 4 years old or under and not
exceeding 45 pounds in weight.
(e) Restraint systems are required only in vehicles manufactured after model year
1966.
(3) Driver distractions. Vehicle operators on a DOD installation and operators of
Government owned vehicles will
not use cell phones unless the vehicle is safely parked or unless they are using a
hands–free device. The wearing of any
other portable headphones, earphones, or other listening devices (except for hands–
free cellular phones) while operating
a motor vehicle is prohibited. Use of those devices impairs driving and masks or
prevents recognition of emergency
signals, alarms, announcements, the approach of vehicles, and human speech. The DOD
component safety guidance
should note the potential for driver distractions such as eating and drinking,
operating radios, CD players, global
positioning equipment, and so on. Whenever possible this should only be done when
the vehicle is safely parked.
d. Only administrative actions (reprimand, assessment of points, loss of on–post
driving privileges, or other actions)
will be initiated against Service members for off–post violations of the
installation traffic code.
e. In States where traffic law violations are State criminal offenses, such laws
are made applicable under the
provisions of 18 USC 13 to military installations having concurrent or exclusive
Federal jurisdiction.
f. In those States where violations of traffic law are not considered criminal
offenses and cannot be assimilated
under 18 USC, DODD 5525.4, enclosure 1 expressly adopts the vehicular and
pedestrian traffic laws of such States and
makes these laws applicable to military installations having concurrent or
exclusive Federal jurisdiction. It also
delegates authority to installation commanders to establish additional vehicular
and pedestrian traffic rules and
regulations for their installations. Persons found guilty of violating the
vehicular and pedestrian traffic laws made
applicable on the installation under provisions of that directive are subject to a
fine as determined by the local
magistrate or imprisonment for not more than 30 days, or both, for each violation.
In those States where traffic laws
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
cannot be assimilated, an extract copy of this paragraph and a copy of the
delegation memorandum in DODD 5525.4,
enclosure 1, will be posted in a prominent place accessible to persons assigned,
living, or working on the installation.

g. In those States where violations of traffic laws cannot be assimilated because


the Federal Government’s jurisdictional
authority on the installation or parts of the installation is only proprietary,
neither 18 USC 13 nor the delegation
memorandum in DODD 5525.4, enclosure 1, will permit enforcement of the State’s
traffic laws in Federal courts. Law
enforcement authorities on those military installations must rely on either
administrative sanctions related to the
installation driving privilege or enforcement of traffic laws by State law
enforcement authorities.
Section II
Traffic Law Enforcement

4–3. Traffic law enforcement principles

a. Traffic law enforcement should motivate drivers to operate vehicles safely


within traffic laws and regulations and
maintain an effective and efficient flow of traffic. Effective enforcement should
emphasize voluntary compliance by
drivers and can be achieved by the following actions:
(1) Publishing a realistic traffic code well known by all personnel.
(2) Adopting standard signs, markings, and signals in accordance with NHSPS and the
Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices for Streets and Highways.
(3) Ensuring enforcement personnel establish courteous, personal contact with
drivers and act promptly when
driving behavior is improper or a defective vehicle is observed in operation.
(4) Maintaining an aggressive program to detect and apprehend persons who drive
while privileges are suspended or
revoked.
(5) Using sound discretion and judgment in deciding when to apprehend, issue
citations, or warn the offender.
b. Selective enforcement will be used when practical. Selective enforcement deters
traffic violations and reduces
accidents by the presence or suggested presence of law enforcement personnel at
places where violations, congestion,
or accidents frequently occur. Selective enforcement applies proper enforcement
measures to traffic congestion and
focuses on selected time periods, conditions, and violations that cause accidents.
Law enforcement personnel use
selective enforcement because that practice is the most effective use of resources.
c. Enforcement activities against intoxicated driving will include—
(1) Detecting, apprehending, and testing persons suspected of driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
(2) Training law enforcement personnel in special enforcement techniques.
(3) Enforcing BAC standards (see para 4–11).
(4) Denying installation driving privileges to persons whose use of alcohol or
other drugs prevents safe operation of
a motor vehicle.
d. Installation officials will formally evaluate traffic enforcement on a regular
basis. That evaluation will examine
procedures to determine if the following elements of the program are effective in
reducing traffic accidents and deaths:
(1) Selective enforcement measures.
(2) Suspension and revocation actions.
(3) Chemical breath–testing programs.
4–4. Speed–measuring devices

Speed–measuring devices will be used in traffic control studies and enforcement


programs. Signs may be posted to
indicate speed–measuring devices are being used.

a. Equipment purchases. Installations will ensure operators attend an appropriate


training program for the equipment
in use.
b. Training and certification standards.
(1) The commander of each installation using traffic radar will ensure that
personnel selected as operators of such
devices meet training and certification requirements prescribed by the State (or
SOFA) in which the installation is
located. Specific information on course dates, costs, and prerequisites for
attending may be obtained by contacting the
State agency responsible for police traffic radar training.
(2) Installation commanders located in States or overseas areas where no formal
training program exists, or where
the military personnel are unable or ineligible to participate in police traffic
radar training programs, may implement
their own training program or use a selected civilian institution or manufacturer’s
course.
(3) The objective of the civilian or manufacturer–sponsored course is to improve
the effectiveness of speed
enforcement through the proper and efficient use of speed–measurement radar. On
successful completion, the course
graduate must be able to—
(a) Describe the association between excessive speed and accidents, deaths, and
injuries, and describe the traffic
safety benefits of effective speed control.
(b) Describe the basic principles of radar speed measurement.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
(c ) I d e n t i f y a n d d e s c r i b e t h e S e r v i c e ’ s p o l i c y a n
d p r o c e d u r e s a f f e c t i n g r a d a r s p e e d m e a s u r e m e n t a
n d s p e e d
enforcement.
(d) Identify the specific radar instrument used and describe the instrument’s major
components and functions.
(e) Demonstrate basic skills in checking calibration and operating the specific
radar instrument.
(f) Demonstrate basic skills in preparing and presenting records and courtroom
testimony relating to radar speed
measurement and enforcement.
c. Recertification. Recertification of operators will occur every 3 years, or as
prescribed by State law.
4–5. Traffic accident investigation

Installation law enforcement personnel must make detailed investigations of


accidents described below—

a. Accidents involving Government vehicles or Government property on the


installation involving a fatality,
personal injury, or estimated property damage in the amount established by separate
Service/DLA policy. (Minimum
damage limits are— Army, $1,000; Air Force, as specified by the installation
commander; Navy and Marine Corps,
$500.) The installation motor pool will provide current estimates of the cost of
repairs. Investigations of off–installation
accidents involving Government vehicles will be made in cooperation with the
civilian law enforcement agency.
b. Any POV accidents on the installation involving a fatality, personal injury, or
when a POV is inoperable as a
result of an accident.
c. Any accident prescribed within a SOFA.
4–6. Traffic accident investigation reports

a. Accidents requiring immediate reports. The driver or owner of any vehicle


involved in an accident, as described
in paragraph 4–5, above, on the installation, must immediately notify the
installation law enforcement office. The
operator of any Government vehicle involved in a similar accident off the
installation must immediately notify the local
civilian law enforcement agency having jurisdiction, as well as law enforcement
personnel of the nearest military
installation.
b. Investigation records. Installation law enforcement officials will record
traffic accident investigations on Service/
DLA forms. Information will be released according to Service/DLA policy, the
Privacy Act, and the Freedom of
Information Act.
c. Army law enforcement officers. These officers provide the local Safety Office
copies of traffic accident investigation
reports pertaining to accidents investigated by military police that resulted in a
fatality, personal injury, or
estimated damage to Government vehicles or property in excess of $1,000.
d. All privately owned vehicle accidents not addressed in paragraph 4–5. Guidance
for reporting these cases is
provided below—
(1) Drivers or owners of POVs will be required to submit a written report to the
installation law enforcement office
within 24 hours of an accident in the following cases, with all information listed
in paragraph 4–6d(3), below:
(a) The accident occurs on the installation.
(b) The accident involves no personal injury.
(c) The accident involves only minor damage to the POV and the vehicle can be
safely and normally driven from
the scene under its own power.
(2) Information in the written report cannot be used in criminal proceedings
against the person submitting it unless it
was originally categorized a hit and run and the violator is the person submitting
the report. Rights advisement will be
given prior to any criminal traffic statements provided by violators. Within the
United States, the installation law
enforcement official may require such reporting on Service forms or forms of the
State jurisdiction.
(3) Reports required in paragraph d(1), above, by the Army will include the
following about the accident:
(a) Location, date, and time.
(b) Identification of all drivers, pedestrians, and passengers involved.
(c) Identification of vehicles involved.
(d) Direction and speed of travel of each vehicle involved, including a sketch of
the collision and roadway with
street names and north arrow.
(e) Property damage involved.
(f) Environmental conditions at the time of the incident (weather, visibility, road
surface condition, and other
factors).
(g) A narrative description of the events and circumstances concerning the
accident.
4–7. Use of traffic accident investigation report data

a. Data derived from traffic accident investigation reports and from vehicle owner
accident reports will be analyzed
to determine probable causes of accidents. When frequent accidents occur at a
location, the conditions at the location
and the types of accidents (collision diagram) will be examined.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
b. Law enforcement personnel and others who prepare traffic accident investigation
reports will indicate whether or
not seat restraint devices were being used at the time of the accident.
c. When accidents warrant, an installation commander may establish a traffic
accident review board. The board will
consist of law enforcement, engineer, safety, medical, and legal personnel. The
board will determine principal factors
leading to the accident and recommend measures to reduce the number and severity of
accidents on and off the
installation. (The Air Force will use Traffic Safety Coordinating Groups. The Navy
will use Traffic Safety Councils per
OPNAVINST 5100.12 Series.)
d. Data will be shared with the installation legal, engineer, safety, and
transportation officers. The data will be used
to inform and educate drivers and to conduct traffic engineering studies.
e. Army traffic accident investigation reports will be provided to Army centralized
accident investigation of ground
accidents (CAIG) boards on request. The CAIG boards are under the control of the
Commander, U.S. Army Combat
Readiness Center, Fort Rucker, AL 36362–5363. These boards investigate Class A, on–
duty, non–POV accidents and
other selected accidents Army–wide (see AR 385–40). Local commanders provide
additional board members as
required to complete a timely and accurate investigation. Normally, additional
board members are senior equipment
operators, maintenance officer, and medical officers. However, specific
qualifications of the additional board members
may be dictated by the nature of the accident.
f. The CAIG program is not intended to interfere with, impede, or delay law
enforcement agencies in the execution
of regulatory responsibilities that apply to the investigation of accidents for a
determination of criminal intent or
criminal acts. Criminal investigations have priority.
g. Army law enforcement agencies will maintain close liaison and cooperation with
CAIG boards. Such cooperation,
particularly with respect to interviews of victims and witnesses and in collection
and preservation of physical evidence,
should support both the CAIG and law enforcement collateral investigations.
4–8. Parking

a. The most efficient use of existing on– and off–street parking space should be
stressed on a nonreserved
(first–come, first–served) basis.
b. Reserved parking facilities should be designated as parking by permit or
numerically by category of eligible
parkers. Designation of parking spaces by name, grade, rank, or title should be
avoided.
c. Illegal parking contributes to congestion and slows traffic flow on an
installation. Strong enforcement of parking
restrictions results in better use of available parking facilities and eliminates
conditions causing traffic accidents.
d. The “Denver boot” device is authorized for use as a technique to assist in the
enforcement of parking violations
where immobilization of the POV is necessary for safety. Under no circumstances
should the device be used to punish
or “teach a lesson” to violators. Booting should not be used if other reasonably
effective but less restrictive means of
enforcement (such as warnings, ticketing, reprimands, revocations, or suspensions
of on–post driving privileges) are
available. Procedures for booting must be developed as listed below.
(1) Local standing operating procedures (SOPs) must be developed to control the
discretion of enforcers and limit
booting to specific offenses. The SOPs should focus on specific reasons for
booting, such as immobilization of unsafe,
uninspected, or unregistered vehicles or compelling the presence of repeat
offenders. All parking violations must be
clearly outlined in the installation traffic code.
(2) Drivers should be placed on notice that particular violations or multiple
violations may result in booting. Also,
drivers must be provided with a prompt hearing and an opportunity to obtain the
release of their property.
(3) To limit liability, drivers must be warned when a boot is attached to their
vehicle and instructed how to have the
boot removed without damaging the vehicle.
4–9. Traffic violation reports

a. Most traffic violations occurring on DOD installations (within the United States
or its territories) should be
referred to the proper U.S. Magistrate. (Army, see AR 190–29; DLA, see the DLA One
Book Process Chapter,
Criminal Offenses and U.S. Federal Court Procedures; and Air Force, see AFI 51–
905.) However, violations are not
referred when—
(1) The operator is driving a Government vehicle at the time of the violation.
(2) A Federal Magistrate is either not available or lacks jurisdiction to hear the
matter because the violation occurred
in an area where the Federal Government has only proprietary legislative
jurisdiction.
(3) Mission requirements make referral of offenders impractical.
(4) A U.S. Magistrate is available but the accused refuses to consent to the
jurisdiction of the court and the U.S.
Attorney refuses to process the case before a U.S. District Court. For the Navy,
DUI and driving under the influence of
drugs cases will be referred to the Federal Magistrate.
b. Installation commanders will establish administrative procedures for processing
traffic violations.
(1) All traffic violators on military installations will be issued either a DD Form
1408 (Armed Forces Traffic Ticket)
or a DD Form 1805 (United States District Court Violation Notice), as appropriate.
Unless specified otherwise by
separate Service/DLA policy, only on–duty law enforcement personnel (including game
wardens) designated by the
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
installation law enforcement officer may issue these forms. Air Force individuals
certified under the Parking Traffic
Warden Program may issue DD Form 1408 in areas under their control.

(2) A copy of all reports on military personnel and DOD civilian employees
apprehended for intoxicated driving
will be forwarded to the installation alcohol and drug abuse facility.
c. Installation commanders will establish procedures used for disposing of traffic
violation cases through administrative
or judicial action consistent with the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and
Federal law.
d. The DD Form 1805 will be used to refer violations of State traffic laws made
applicable to the installation
(Assimilative Crimes Act (18 USC 13) and the delegation memorandum in DODD 5525.4,
enclosure 1, and other
violations of Federal law) to the U.S. Magistrate. (Army users, see AR 190–29.)
(1) A copy of DD Form 1805 and any traffic violation reports on military personnel
and DOD civilian employees
will be forwarded to the commander or supervisor of the violator. The DA Form 3975
(Military Police Report) may be
use to forward the report.
(2) Detailed instructions for properly completing DD Form 1805 are contained in
separate Service policy directives.
(3) The assimilation of State traffic laws as Federal offenses should be identified
by a specific State code reference
in the Code Section block of the DD Form 1805 (or in a complaint filed with the
U.S. Magistrate).
(4) The Statement of Probable Cause on the DD Form 1805 will be used according to
local staff judge advocate and
U.S. Magistrate court policy. The Statement of Probable Cause is required by the
Federal misdemeanor rules to support
the issuance of a summons or arrest warrant.
(5) For cases referred to U.S. Magistrates, normal distribution of DD Form 1805
will be as follows:
(a) The installation law enforcement official will forward copy 1 (white) and copy
2 (yellow) to the U.S. District
Court (Central Violation Bureau).
(b) The installation law enforcement office will file copy 3 (pink).
(c) Law enforcement personnel will provide copy 4 (envelope) to the violator.
e. When DD Form 1408 is used, one copy (including written warnings) will be
forwarded through command
channels to the Service member’s commander, to the commander of the military family
member’s sponsor, or to the
civilian’s supervisor or employer as the installation commander may establish.
(1) Previous traffic violations committed by the offender and points assessed may
be shown.
(2) For violations that require a report of action taken, the DD Form 1408 will be
returned to the office of record
through the reviewing authority as the installation commander may establish.
(3) When the report is received by the office of record, that office will enter the
action on the violator’s driving
record.
Section III
Standards and Procedures for Processing Drunk Drivers

4–10. Training of law enforcement personnel

a. As a minimum, installation law enforcement personnel will be trained to do the


following:
(1) Recognize signs of alcohol and other drug impairment in persons operating motor
vehicles.
(2) Prepare DD Form 1920 (Alcohol Incident Report).
(3) Perform the three field tests of the improved sobriety testing techniques (see
para 4–13b, below).
(4) Determine when a person appears intoxicated but is actually physically or
mentally ill and requires prompt
medical attention.
(5) Understand the operation of breath–testing devices.
b. Each installation using breath–testing devices will ensure that operators of
these devices—
(1) Are chosen for integrity, maturity, and sound judgment.
(2) Meet certification requirements of the State where the installation is located.
c. Installations located in States or overseas areas having a formal breath–testing
and certification program should
ensure operators attend that training.
d. Installations located in States or overseas areas with no formal training
program will train personnel at courses
offered by selected civilian institutions or manufacturers of the equipment.
e. Operators must maintain proficiency through refresher training every 18 months
or as required by the State.
4–11. Blood alcohol concentration standards

a. Administrative revocation of driving privileges and other enforcement measures


will be applied uniformly to
offenders driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. When a person is tested
under the implied consent provisions
of paragraph 2–3, the results of the test will be evaluated as follows:
(1) If the percentage of alcohol in the person’s blood is less than 0.05 percent,
presume the person is not under the
influence of alcohol.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
(2) If the percentage is 0.05 but less than 0.08, presume the person may be
impaired. This standard may be
considered with other competent evidence in determining whether the person was
under the influence of alcohol.
(3) If the percentage is 0.08 or more, or if tests reflect the presence of illegal
drugs, the person was driving while
intoxicated.
b. Percentages in paragraph a, above, are percent of weight by volume of alcohol in
the blood based on grams of
alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. These presumptions will be considered with
other evidence in determining
intoxication.
4–12. Chemical testing policies and procedures

a. Validity of chemical testing. Results of chemical testing are valid under this
regulation only under the following
circumstances:
(1) Blood, urine, or other bodily substances are tested using generally accepted
scientific and medical methods and
standards.
(2) Breath tests are administered by qualified personnel (see para 4–10).
(3) An evidential breath–testing device approved by the State or host nation is
used. For Army, Air Force, and
Marine Corps, the device must also be listed on the NHTSA conforming products list
published in the “Conforming
Products List for instruments that conform to the Model Specifications for
Evidential Breath Testing Devices (58 FR
48705), and amendments,” (see 70 FR 18982, para 634.35).
(4) Procedures established by the State or host nation or as prescribed in
paragraph b, below, are followed.
b. Breath–testing device operational procedures. If the State or host nation has
not established procedures for use of
breath–testing devices, the following procedures will apply:
(1) Screening breath–testing devices will be used—
(a) During the initial traffic stop as a field sobriety testing technique, along
with other field sobriety testing
techniques, to determine if further testing is needed on an evidential breath–
testing device.
(b) According to manufacture operating instructions. (For Army, Air Force, and
Marine Corps, the screening
breath–testing device must also be listed on the NHTSA conforming products list
published in the “Conforming
Products List for instruments that conform to the Model Specifications for
Evidential Breath Testing Devices (58 FR
48705), and amendments,” (see 70 FR 18982, para 634.35)).
(2) Evidential breath–testing devices will be used as follows:
(a) Observe the person to be tested for at least 15 minutes before collecting the
breath specimen. During this time,
the person must not drink alcoholic beverages or other fluids, eat, smoke, chew
tobacco, or ingest any substance.
(b) Verify calibration and proper operation of the instrument by using a control
sample immediately before the test.
(c) Comply with operational procedures in the manufacturer’s current instruction
manual.
(d) Perform preventive maintenance as required by the instruction manual.
c. Chemical tests of personnel involved in fatal accidents.
(1) Installation medical authorities will immediately notify the installation law
enforcement officer of—
(a) The death of any person involved in a motor vehicle accident.
(b) The circumstances surrounding such an accident, based on information available
at the time of admission or
receipt of the body of the victim.
(2) Medical authorities will examine the bodies of those persons killed in a motor
vehicle accident to include
drivers, passengers, and pedestrians subject to military jurisdiction. They will
also examine the bodies of dependents,
who are 16 years of age or older, if the sponsors give their consent. Tests for the
presence and concentration of alcohol
or other drugs in the person’s blood, bodily fluids, or tissues will be made as
soon as possible and where practical
within 8 hours of death. The test results will be included in the medical reports.
(3) As provided by law and medical conditions permitting, a blood or breath sample
will be obtained from any
surviving operator whose vehicle is involved in a fatal accident.
4–13. Detection, apprehension, and testing of intoxicated drivers

a. Law enforcement personnel usually detect drivers under the influence of alcohol
or other drugs by observing
unusual or abnormal driving behavior. Drivers showing such behavior will be stopped
immediately. The cause of the
unusual driving behavior will be determined, and proper enforcement action will be
taken.
b. When a law enforcement officer reasonably concludes that the individual driving
or in control of the vehicle is
impaired, field sobriety tests should be conducted on the individual. The DD Form
1920 may be used by law
enforcement agencies in examining, interpreting, and recording results of such
tests. Law enforcement personnel should
use a standard field sobriety test (such as one–leg stand or walk and turn)
horizontal gaze nystagmus tests as
sanctioned by the NHTSA and screening breath–testing devices to conduct field
sobriety tests.
4–14. Voluntary breath and bodily fluid testing based on implied consent

a. Implied consent policy is explained in paragraph 2–3.


AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
b. Tests may be administered only if the following conditions are met:
(1) The person was lawfully stopped while driving, operating, or in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle on the
installation.
(2) Reasonable suspicion exists to believe that the person was driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
(3) A request was made to the person to consent to the tests combined with a
warning that failure to voluntarily
submit to or complete a chemical test of bodily fluids or breath will result in the
revocation of driving privileges.
c. As stated in paragraphs a and b, above, the law enforcement official relying on
implied consent will warn the
person that driving privileges will be revoked if the person fails to voluntarily
submit to or complete a requested
chemical test. The person does not have the right to have an attorney present
before stating whether he or she will
submit to a test, or during the actual test. Installation commanders will prescribe
the type or types of chemical tests to
be used. Testing will follow policies and procedures in paragraph 4–12, above. The
results of chemical tests conducted
under the implied consent provisions of this regulation may be used as evidence in
courts–martial, nonjudicial
proceedings under UCMJ, Art. 15, administrative actions, and civilian courts.
d. Special rules exist for persons who have hemophilia, other blood–clotting
disorders, or any medical or surgical
disorder being treated with an anticoagulant. These persons—
(1) May refuse a blood extraction test without penalty.
(2) Will not be administered a blood extraction test to determine alcohol or other
drug concentration or presence
under this regulation.
(3) May be given breath or urine tests, or both.
e. If a person suspected of intoxicated driving refuses to submit to a chemical
test, a test will not be administered
except as specified in paragraph 4–15, below.
4–15. Involuntary extraction of bodily fluids in traffic cases

a. General. The procedures outlined herein pertain only to the investigation of


individuals stopped, apprehended, or
cited on a military installation for any offense related to driving a motor vehicle
and for whom probable cause exists to
believe that such individual is intoxicated. Extractions of body fluids in
furtherance of other kinds of investigations are
governed by the Manual for Courts–Martial, United States, Military Rule of Evidence
315 (2002), and regulatory rules
concerning requesting and granting authorizations for searches.
(1) Air Force policy on nonconsensual extraction of blood samples is addressed in
AFI 44–102.
(2) Army and Marine Corps personnel should not undertake the nonconsensual
extraction of body fluids for reasons
other than a valid medical purpose without first obtaining the advice and
concurrence of the installation staff judge
advocate or his or her designee.
(3) The DLA policy on nonconsensual taking of blood samples is contained in the DLA
One Book Process Chapter,
Search and Seizure.
b. Rule. Involuntary bodily fluid extraction must be based on valid search and
seizure authorization. An individual
subject to the UCMJ who does not consent to chemical testing, as described above,
may nonetheless be subjected to an
involuntary extraction of bodily fluids, including blood and urine, only in
accordance with the following procedures:
(1) An individual subject to the UCMJ who was driving a motor vehicle and suspected
of being under the influence
of an intoxicant may be subjected to a nonconsensual bodily fluid extraction to
test for the presence of intoxicants only
when there is a probable cause to believe that such an individual was driving or in
control of a vehicle while under the
influence of an intoxicant.
(a) A search authorization by an appropriate commander or military magistrate
obtained pursuant to the Manual for
C o u r t s – M a r t i a l , U n i t e d S t a t e s , M i l i t a r y R u l e o f
E v i d e n c e 3 1 5 ( 2 0 0 2 ) , i s r e q u i r e d p r i o r t o s u c h n o n
c o n s e n s u a l
extraction.
(b) A search authorization is not required under such circumstances when there is a
clear indication that evidence of
intoxication will be found and there is reason to believe that the delay necessary
to obtain a search authorization would
result in the loss or destruction of the evidence sought.
(c) Because warrantless searches are subject to close scrutiny by the courts,
obtaining an authorization is highly
preferable. Warrantless searches generally should be conducted only after
coordination with the servicing staff judge
advocate or legal officer, and attempts to obtain authorization from an appropriate
official prove unsuccessful due to
the unavailability of a commander or military magistrate.
(2) If authorization from the military magistrate or commander proves unsuccessful
due to the unavailability of such
officials, the commander of a medical facility is empowered by the Manual for
Courts–Martial, United States, Military
Rule of Evidence 315 (2002), to authorize such extraction from an individual
located in the facility at the time the
authorization is sought.
(a) Before authorizing the involuntary extraction, the commander of the medical
facility should, if circumstances
permit, coordinate with the servicing staff judge advocate or legal officer.
(b) The medical facility commander authorizing the extraction under the Manual for
Courts–Martial, United States,
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
Military Rule of Evidence 315 (2002), need not be on duty as the attending
physician at the facility where the
extraction is to be performed and the actual extraction may be accomplished by
other qualified medical personnel.

(c) The authorizing official may consider his or her own observations of the
individual in determining probable
cause.
c. Role of medical personnel. Authorization for the nonconsensual extraction of
blood samples for evidentiary
purposes by qualified medical personnel is independent of, and not limited by,
provisions defining medical care, such
as the provision for nonconsensual medical care pursuant to AR 600–20, section IV.
Extraction of blood will be
accomplished by qualified medical personnel (see the Manual for Courts–Martial,
United States, Military Rule of
Evidence 312(g)).
(1) In performing this duty, medical personnel are expected to use only that amount
of force that is reasonable and
necessary to administer the extraction.
(2) Any force necessary to overcome an individual’s resistance to the extraction
normally will be provided by law
enforcement personnel or by personnel acting under orders from the member’s unit
commander.
(3) Life endangering force will not be used in an attempt to effect nonconsensual
extractions.
(4) All law enforcement and medical personnel will keep in mind the possibility
that the individual may require
medical attention for possible disease or injury.
d. Nonconsensual extractions of blood. Nonconsensual extractions of blood will be
done in a manner that will not
interfere with or delay proper medical attention. Medical personnel will determine
the priority to be given involuntary
blood extractions when other medical treatment is required.
e. Use of Army medical treatment facilities. Use of Army medical treatment
facilities and personnel for blood
alcohol testing has no relevance to whether or not the suspect is eligible for
military medical treatment. The medical
effort in such instances is in support of a valid military mission (law
enforcement), not related to providing medical
treatment to an individual.
4–16. Testing at the request of the apprehended person

a. A person subject to tests under paragraph 2–3 may request that an additional
test be done privately. The person
may choose a doctor, qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
qualified person to do the test. The person
must pay the cost of the test. The test must be a chemical test approved by the
State or host nation in an overseas
command. All tests will be completed as soon as possible, with any delay being
noted on the results.
b. If the person requests this test, the suspect is responsible for making all
arrangements. If the suspect fails to or
cannot obtain any additional test, the results of the tests that were done at the
direction of a law enforcement official
are not invalid and may still be used to support actions under separate Service
regulations, UCMJ, and the U.S.
Magistrate Court.
Section IV
Off–Installation Traffic Activities

4–17. General

In areas not under military control, civil authorities enforce traffic laws. Law
enforcement authorities will establish a
system to exchange information with civil authorities. Army and Air Force
installation law enforcement authorities will
establish a system to exchange information with civil authorities to enhance the
chain of command’s visibility of a
soldier’s and airman’s off post traffic violations. These agreements will provide
for the assessment of traffic points
based on reports from State licensing authorities involving Army military
personnel. The provisions of chapter 5 of this
regulation and the VRS automated system provide for the collection of off–post
traffic incident reports and data. As
provided in AR 190–45, civilian law enforcement agencies are considered routine
users of Army law enforcement data
and will be granted access to data when available from Army law enforcement systems
of records. Off–installation
traffic activities in overseas areas are governed by formal agreements with the
host nation Government. Procedures
should be established to process reports received from civil authorities on serious
traffic violations, accidents, and
intoxicated driving incidents involving persons subject to this regulation. The
exchange of information is limited to
Army and Air Force military personnel. Provost marshals will not collect and use
data concerning civilian employees,
family members, and contract personnel except as allowed by State and Federal laws.

4–18. Compliance with State laws

a. Installation commanders will inform Service members, contractors, and DOD


civilian employees to comply with
State and local traffic laws when operating Government motor vehicles.
b. Commanders will coordinate with the proper civil law enforcement agency before
moving Government vehicles
that exceed legal limits or regulations or that may subject highway users to
unusual hazards (see AR 55–162/
OPNAVINST 4600.11D/AFJI 24–216/MCO 4643.5C).
c. Installation commanders will maintain liaison with civil enforcement agencies
and encourage the following:
(1) Release of a Government vehicle operator to military authorities unless one of
the conditions below exists.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
(a) The offense warrants detention.
(b) The person’s condition is such that further operation of a motor vehicle could
result in injury to the person or
others.
(2) Prompt notice to military authorities when military personnel or drivers of
Government motor vehicles have—
(a) Committed serious violations of civil traffic laws.
(b) Been involved in traffic accidents.
(3) Prompt notice of actions by a State or host nation to suspend, revoke, or
restrict the State or host nation driver’s
license (vehicle operation privilege) of persons who—
(a) Operate Government motor vehicles.
(b) Operate a POV on the installation regularly (see para 2–11).
4–19. Civil–military cooperative programs

a. State–Armed Forces Traffic Workshop Program. This program is an organized effort


to coordinate military and
civil traffic safety activities throughout a State or area. Installation commanders
will cooperate with State and local
officials in this program and provide proper support and participation.
b. Community–Installation Traffic Workshop Program. Installation commanders should
establish a local workshop
program to coordinate the installation traffic efforts with those of local
communities. Sound and practical traffic
planning depends on a balanced program of traffic enforcement, engineering, and
education. Civilian and military legal
and law enforcement officers, traffic engineers, safety officials, and public
affairs officers should take part.
Chapter 5
Driving Records and the Traffic Point System

5–1. Driving records

Each Service and DLA will use its own form to record vehicle traffic accidents,
moving violations, suspension or
revocation actions, and traffic point assessments involving military and DOD
civilian personnel, their family members,
and other personnel operating motor vehicles on a military installation. Army
installations will use DA Form 3626
(Vehicle Registration/Driver Record) for this purpose. Table 5–1 prescribes
mandatory minimum or maximum suspension
or revocation periods. Traffic points are not assessed for suspension or revocation
actions.

Table 5–1
Suspension or revocation periods of driving privileges

Violation: Driving while driver’s license or installation driving privileges are


under suspension or revocation.
Consequence: A 2–year revocation is mandatory on determination of facts by
installation commander. (For Army, 5–year revocation is
mandatory.)

Violation: Refusal to submit to or failure to complete chemical tests (implied


consent).
Consequence: A 1–year revocation is mandatory on determination of facts by
installation commander.
Violation: Manslaughter (or negligent homicide by vehicle) resulting from the
operation of a motor vehicle. Driving or being in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor (0.08%
or greater on DOD installations; violation of civil law off post).
Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of any narcotic, or while under
the influence of any other drug (including alcohol) to the
degree rendered incapable of safe vehicle operation. Use of a motor vehicle in the
commission of a felony. Fleeing the scene of an accident
involving death or personal injury (hit and run). Perjury or making a false
statement or affidavit under oath to responsible officials relating to
the ownership or operation of motor vehicles. Unauthorized use of a motor vehicle
belonging to another, when the act does not amount to a
felony.
Consequence: A 1–year revocation is mandatory on conviction.

Violation: Mental or physical impairment (not including alcohol or other drug use)
to the degree rendered incompetent to drive. Commission
of an offense in another State which, if committed on the installation, would be
grounds for suspension or revocation. Permitting an unlawful
or fraudulent use of an official driver’s license. Conviction of fleeing, or
attempting to elude, a police officer. Conviction of racing on the
highway.
Consequence: Suspension for a period of 6 months or less or revocation for a period
not to exceed 1 year is discretionary.

AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006


Table 5–1
Suspension or revocation periods of driving privileges—Continued

Violation: Receiving a second 1–year suspension or revocation of driving privileges


within 5 years.
Consequence: Loss of OF 346 for minimum of 6 months is discretionary.

Notes:
1 When imposing a suspension or revocation because of an off–installation offense,
the effective date should be the same as the date of civil conviction, or the
date that State or host nation driving privileges are suspended or revoked. This
effective date can be retroactive.

2 No points are assessed for revocation or suspension actions. Except for implied
consent violations, revocations must be based on a conviction by a civilian court
or courts–martial, nonjudicial punishment under UCMJ, Art. 15, or a separate
hearing as addressed in this regulation. If revocation for implied consent is
combined with another revocation, such as 1 year for intoxicated driving,
revocations may run consecutively (total of 24 months) or concurrently (total of 12
months). The installation commander’s policy should be applied systematically and
not on a case–by–case basis.

5–2. The traffic point system

The traffic point system provides a uniform administrative device to impartially


judge driving performance of Service
and DLA personnel. This system is not a disciplinary measure or a substitute for
punitive action. Further, this system is
not intended to interfere in any way with the reasonable exercise of an
installation commander’s prerogative to issue,
suspend, revoke, deny, or reinstate installation driving privileges.

5–3. Point system application

a. The Services and DLA are required to use the point system and procedures
prescribed herein without change.
b. The point system in table 5–2 applies to all operators of U.S. Government motor
vehicles, on or off Federal
property. The system also applies to violators reported to installation officials
in accordance with paragraph 4–9.
c. Points will be assessed when the person is found to have committed a violation
and the finding is by either the
unit commander, civilian supervisor, a military or civilian court (including a U.S.
Magistrate), or by payment of fine,
forfeiture of pay or allowances, or posted bond, or collateral.

assessed for specific offenses).
Points assessed: 1

Notes:
1 When two or more violations are committed on a single occasion, points may be
assessed for each individual violation.
2 This measure should be used for other than minor vehicle safety defects or when a
driver or registrant fails to correct a minor defect (for example, a burned out
headlight not replaced within the grace period on a warning ticket).

5–4. System procedures

a. Reports of moving traffic violations recorded on DD Form 1408 or DD Form 1805


will serve as a basis for
determining point assessment. For DD Form 1408, return endorsements will be
required from commanders or
supervisors.
b. On receipt of DD Form 1408 or other military law enforcement report of a moving
violation, the unit commander,
designated supervisor, or person otherwise designated by the installation commander
will conduct an inquiry. The
commander will take or recommend proper disciplinary or administrative action. If a
case involves judicial or
nonjudicial actions, the final report of action taken will not be forwarded until
final adjudication.
c. On receipt of the report of action taken (including action by a U.S. Magistrate
Court on DD Form 1805), the
installation law enforcement officer will assess the number of points appropriate
for the offense, and record the traffic
points or the suspension or revocation of driving privileges on the person’s
driving record. Except as specified
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
otherwise in this and other Service/DLA regulations, points will not be assessed or
driving privileges suspended or
revoked when the report of action taken indicates that neither disciplinary nor
administrative action was taken.

d. Installation commanders may require the following driver improvement measures as


appropriate:
(1) Advisory letter through the unit commander or supervisor to any person who has
acquired six traffic points
within a 6–month period.
(2) Counseling or driver improvement interview, by the unit commander, of any
person who has acquired more than
6 but less than 12 traffic points within a 6–month period. This counseling or
interview should produce recommendations
to improve driver performance.
(3) Referral for medical evaluation when a driver, based on reasonable belief,
appears to have mental or physical
limits that have had or may have an adverse affect on driving performance.
(4) Attending a remedial driver training to improve driving performance.
(5) Referral to an alcohol or drug treatment or rehabilitation facility for
evaluation, counseling, or treatment. This
action is required for active military personnel in all cases in which alcohol or
other drugs are a contributing factor to a
traffic citation, incident, or accident.
e. An individual’s driving privileges may be suspended or revoked as provided by
this regulation regardless of
whether these improvement measures are accomplished.
f. Persons whose driving privileges are suspended or revoked (for one violation or
an accumulation of 12 traffic
points within 12 consecutive months, or 18 traffic points within 24 consecutive
months) will be notified in writing
through official channels (see para 2–6). Except for the mandatory minimum or
maximum suspension or revocation
periods prescribed by table 5–1, the installation commander will establish periods
of suspension or revocation. Any
revocation based on traffic points must be no less than 6 months. A longer period
may be imposed on the basis of a
person’s overall driving record considering the frequency, flagrancy, severity of
moving violations, and the response to
previous driver improvement measures. In all cases, military members must
successfully complete a prescribed course
in remedial driver training before driving privileges are reinstated.
g. Points assessed against a person will remain in effect for point accumulation
purposes for 24 consecutive months.
The review of driver records to delete traffic points should be done routinely
during records update while recording
new offenses and forwarding records to new duty stations. Completion of a
revocation based on points requires
removal from the driver record of all points assessed before the revocation.
h. Removal of points does not authorize removal of driving record entries for
moving violations, chargeable
accidents, suspensions, or revocations. Record entries will remain posted on
individual driving records for the period of
time indicated below.
(1) Chargeable nonfatal traffic accidents or moving violations—3 years.
(2) Nonmandatory suspensions or revocations—5 years.
(3) Mandatory revocations—7 years.
5–5. Disposition of driving records
Procedures will be established to ensure prompt notice to the installation law
enforcement officer when a person
assigned to or employed on the installation is being transferred to another
installation, being released from military
Service, or ending employment.

a. If persons being transferred to a new installation have valid points or other


entries on the driving records, the law
enforcement officer will forward the records to the law enforcement officer of the
gaining installation. Gaining
installation law enforcement officers must coordinate with applicable commanders
and continue any existing suspension
or revocation based on intoxicated driving or accumulation of traffic points.
Traffic points for persons being
transferred will continue to accumulate as specified in paragraph 5–4g, above.
b. Driving records of military personnel being discharged or released from active
duty will be retained on file for 2
years and then destroyed. In cases of immediate reenlistment, change of officer
component or military or civilian
retirement when vehicle registration is continued, the record will remain active.
c. Driving records of civilian personnel terminating employment will be retained on
file for 2 years and then
destroyed.
d. Driving records of military family members containing point assessments or other
entries will be forwarded to the
sponsor’s gaining installation in the same manner as for Service members. At the
new installation, records will be
analyzed and made available temporarily to the sponsor’s unit commander or
supervisor for review.
e. Driving records of retirees electing to retain installation driving privileges
will be retained. Points accumulated or
entries on the driver record regarding suspensions, revocations, moving violations,
or chargeable accidents will not be
deleted from driver records except per paragraphs 5–4g and h, above.
f. Army users will comply with paragraphs a and d, above, by mailing the
individual’s DA Form 3626 to the
gaining installation provost marshal.

Chapter 6
Impounding Privately Owned Vehicles

6–1. General

This chapter provides the standards and procedures for law enforcement personnel
when towing, inventorying,
searching, impounding, and disposing of POVs. This policy is based on—

a. The interests of the Services and DLA in crime prevention, traffic safety, and
the orderly flow of vehicle traffic
movement.
b. The vehicle owner’s constitutional rights to due process, freedom from
unreasonable search and seizure, and
freedom from deprivation of private property.
6–2. Standards for impoundment

a. The POVs should not be impounded unless the vehicles clearly interfere with
ongoing operations or movement of
traffic, threaten public safety or convenience, are involved in criminal activity,
contain evidence of criminal activity, or
are stolen or abandoned.
b. The impoundment of a POV would be inappropriate when reasonable alternatives to
impoundment exist.
(1) Attempts should be made to locate the owner of the POV and have the vehicle
removed.
(2) The vehicle may be moved a short distance to a legal parking area and
temporarily secured until the owner is
found.
(3) Another responsible person may be allowed to drive or tow the POV with
permission from the owner, operator,
or person empowered to control the vehicle. In this case, the owner, operator, or
person empowered to control the
vehicle will be informed that law enforcement personnel are not responsible for
safeguarding the POV.
c. Impounding of POVs is justified when any of the following conditions exist:
(1) The POV is illegally parked—
(a) On a street or bridge, in a tunnel, or is double parked, and interferes with
the orderly flow of traffic.
(b) On a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a crosswalk, on a railroad track, in
a fire lane, or is blocking a
driveway, so that the vehicle interferes with operations or creates a safety hazard
to other roadway users or the general
public. An example would be a vehicle parked within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or
blocking a properly marked driveway
of a fire station or aircraft–alert crew facility.
(c) When blocking an emergency exit door of any public place (installation theater,
club, dining hall, hospital, and
other facility).
(d) In a “tow–away” zone that is so marked with proper signs.
(2) The POV interferes with—
(a) Street cleaning or snow removal operations and attempts to contact the owner
have been unsuccessful.
(b) Emergency operations during a natural disaster or fire or must be removed from
the disaster area during cleanup
operations.
(3) The POV has been used in a crime or contains evidence of criminal activity.
(4) The owner or person in charge has been apprehended and is unable or unwilling
to arrange for custody or
removal.
(5) The POV is mechanically defective and is a menace to others using the public
roadways.
(6) The POV is disabled by a traffic incident and the operator is either
unavailable or physically incapable of having
the vehicle towed to a place of safety for storage or safekeeping.
(7) Law enforcement personnel reasonably believe the vehicle is abandoned.
6–3. Towing and storage

a. Impounded POVs may be towed and stored by either the Services and DLA or a
contracted wrecker Service
depending on availability of towing services and the local commander’s preference.
b. The installation commander will designate an enclosed area on the installation
that can be secured by lock and
key for an impound lot to be used by the military or civilian wrecker Service. An
approved impoundment area
belonging to the contracted wrecker Service may also be used provided the area
assures adequate accountability and
security of towed vehicles. One set of keys to the enclosed area will be maintained
by the installation law enforcement
officer or designated individual.
c. Temporary impoundment and towing of POVs for violations of the installation
traffic code or involvement in
criminal activities will be accomplished under the direct supervision of law
enforcement personnel.
6–4. Procedures for impoundment

a. Unattended privately owned vehicles.


(1) The DD Form 2504 (Abandoned Vehicle Notice) will be conspicuously placed on
POVs considered unattended.
This action will be documented by an entry in the installation law enforcement desk
journal or blotter.
AR 190–5/OPNAV 11200.5D/AFI 31–218(I)/MCO 5110.1D/DLAR 5720.1 • 22 May 2006
(2) The owner will be allowed 3 days from the date the POV is tagged to remove the
vehicle before impoundment
action is initiated. If the vehicle has not been removed after 3 days, it will be
removed by the installation towing
Service or the contracted wrecker Service. If a contracted wrecker Service is used,
a DD Form 2505 (Abandoned
Vehicle Removal Authorization) will be completed and issued to the contractor by
the installation law enforcement
office.
(3) After the vehicle has been removed, the installation law enforcement officer or
the contractor will complete DD
Form 2506 (Vehicle Impoundment Report) as a record of the actions taken.
(a) An inventory listing personal property will be done to protect the owner, law
enforcement personnel, the
contractor, and the commander.
(b) The contents of a closed container such as a suitcase inside the vehicle need
not be inventoried. Such articles
should be opened only if necessary to identify the owner of the vehicle or if the
container might contain explosives or
otherwise present a danger to the public. Merely listing the container and sealing
it with security tape will suffice.
(c) Personal property must be placed in a secure area for safekeeping.
(4) The DD Form 2507 (Notice of Vehicle Impoundment) will be forwarded by certified
mail to the address of the
last known owner of the vehicle to advise the owner of the impoundment action, and
to request information concerning
the owner’s intentions pertaining to the disposition of the vehicle.
b. Stolen privately owned vehicles or vehicles involved in criminal activity.
(1) When the POV is to be held for evidentiary purposes, the vehicle should remain
in the custody of the applicable
Service or DLA until law enforcement purposes are served.
(2) Recovered stolen POVs will be released to the registered owner, unless held for
evidentiary purposes, or to the
law enforcement agency reporting the vehicle stolen, as appropriate.
(3) A POV held on request of other authorities will be retained in the custody of
the applicable Service or DLA
until the vehicle can be released to such authorities.
6–5. Search incident to impoundment based on criminal activity

Search of a POV in conjunction with impoundment based on criminal activity will


likely occur in one of the following
general situations:

a. The owner or operator is not present. This situation could arise during traffic
and crime–related impoundments
and abandoned vehicle seizures. A property search related to an investigation of
criminal activity should not be
conducted without search authority unless the item to be seized is in plain view or
is readily discernible on the outside
as evidence of criminal activity. When in doubt, proper search authority should be
obtained before searching.
b. The owner or operator is present. This situation can occur during either a
traffic or criminal incident, or if the
operator is apprehended for a crime or serious traffic violation and sufficient
probable cause exists to seize the vehicle.
This situation could also arise during cases of intoxicated driving or traffic
accidents in which the operator is present
but incapacitated or otherwise unable to make adequate arrangements to safeguard
the vehicle. If danger exists to the
police or public or if there is risk of loss or destruction of evidence, an
investigative type search of the vehicle may be
conducted without search authority. (Air Force, see AFI 31–204.)
6–6. Disposition of vehicles after impoundment

a. If a POV is impounded for evidentiary purposes, the vehicle can be held for as
long as the evidentiary or law
enforcement purpose exists. The vehicle must then be returned to the owner without
delay unless directed otherwise by
competent authority.
b. If the vehicle is unclaimed after 120 days from the date notification was mailed
to the last known owner or the
owner released the vehicle by properly completing DD Form 2505, the vehicle will be
disposed of by one of the
following procedures:
(1) Release to the lienholder, if known.
(2) Process as abandoned property in accordance with DOD 4160.21–M.
(a) Property may not be disposed of until diligent effort has been made to find the
owner; or the heirs, next of kin,
or legal representative of the owner.
(b) The diligent effort to find one of those mentioned in paragraph (a), above,
shall begin not later than 7 days after
the date on which the property comes into custody or control of the law enforcement
agency.
(c) The period for which this effort is continued may not exceed 45 days.
(d) If the owner or those mentioned in paragraph 6–4b(3), above, are determined,
but not found, the property may
not be disposed of until the expiration of 45 days after the date when notice,
giving the time and place of the intended
sale or other disposition, has been sent by certified or registered mail to that
person at his or her last known address.
(e) When diligent effort to determine those mentioned above is unsuccessful, the
property may be disposed of
without delay, except that if it has a fair market value of more than $500, the law
enforcement official may not dispose
of the property until 45 days after the date it is received at the storage point.
c. All contracts for the disposal of abandoned vehicles must comply with 10 USC
2575.
