The program is administrated by the Highway Safety Division.
VASAP is a statewide network of locally oriented alcohol highway safety programs. Designed to identify and apprehend excessive drinking drivers, VASAP uses existing community facilities to educate and rehabilitate motorists arrested for DUI.
After two and a half years of statewide operation, 77 per cent of Virginia’s population is covered by an operational program and 11 per cent is in planning.
“Alcohol and driving is one of our most serious highway safety problems,” according to Hanna.
“Some eight of every 11 motorists on the highways drink and drive. But few motorists realize it is not necessary to reach a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .10 per cent before a driver’s ability becomes impaired.
“By the time a motorist’s BAC reaches this percentage, his chances of being involved in a crash increase seven times.”
