Abstract

The Act requires drivers to exchange the names of their liability insurance companies at the scene of an accident. It also requires defendants who plead nolo contendere to a DUI charge to complete a drug or alcohol program within 120 days to avoid suspension of their drivers' licenses. Although proof of course completion must be submitted to both the court and the Department of Public Safety within 120 days to avoid a $200 license reinstatement fee, the Act gives the Department of Public Safety power to waive the $200 fee in certain circumstances. Finally, the Act requires drivers to bring their vehicles to a stop when a police officer gives a visual or an audible signal.
