Everett Lynnwood Snohomish County DUI Attorney: Special License Plates or Plate Markings
This week it has been released that legislation introduced by Rep. Norma Smith of Clinton, Washington State, would require that drivers pay an additional $100 for the Z-plate, which would be good for three years. The drivers would be allowed to drive only a vehicle with a Z-designated plate.
The following is information from the award winning book, DUI/DWI: The History of Driving Under the Influence" that directly addresses this very issue. It is not so novel after all.
This sanction includes placing special markings or designations on the license plate that alert police that a convicted DUI offender is in a family or group that drives that vehicle. The special license plate or plate marking sanction permits other family members access to the vehicle, but prohibits the convicted offender from driving it.
Six States have laws permitting special license plates for impaired driving offenses (GA, HI, MI, MN, NJ, OH). Fell, James C., Voas, Robert B., McKnight, A. Scott, and Levy, Marvin.
