§ 3902. Findings and declaration of policy—Article I
(a) The party states find that:
(1) the safety of their highways is materially affected by the degree of compliance with
state and local laws relating to the operation of motor vehicles;
(2) violation of state law or municipal ordinances is evidence that the violator engages
in conduct that is likely to endanger the safety of persons and property;
(3) the continuance in force of a license to drive is predicated upon compliance with
laws and ordinances relating to the operation of motor vehicles, in whichever jurisdiction
the vehicle is operated.
(b) It is the policy of each of the party states to:
(1) promote compliance with the laws, ordinances, and administrative rules relating to
the operation of motor vehicles by their operators in each of the jurisdictions where
operators drive motor vehicles;
(2) make the reciprocal recognition of licenses to drive and eligibility for licensure
more just and equitable by considering the overall compliance with motor vehicle laws,
ordinances, and administrative rules as a condition precedent to the continuance or
issuance of any license by reason of which the licensee is authorized or permitted
to operate a motor vehicle in any of the party states. (Added 1987, No. 62, § 1.)
