A city program intended to hold repeat reckless drivers accountable for their actions quietly expired last week, with little to show for what had seemed a promising initiative to curb dangerous driving.
The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program (DVAP) was enacted in 2020 as a means of educating reckless motorists on the consequences of their actions, or else take away their vehicle. As written, DVAP required drivers who racked up at least 5 camera-issued red light tickets or 15 speed camera tickets in one year to enroll in a driver “accountability” course intended to demonstrate the potentially fatal consequences of their actions.
