Virginia's Driver Communication Improvement Program requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to create and distribute envelopes for drivers diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. These envelopes help facilitate communication with law enforcement during traffic stops or accidents by providing essential information and instructions. The program emphasizes privacy, with no personal data collected or stored beyond distribution needs.
The envelopes are designed to help drivers with autism spectrum disorder communicate effectively with law enforcement during traffic stops or accidents by providing relevant information and instructions.
No, the Department only collects necessary information to distribute the envelopes and does not store any personal data after distribution.
The envelope can state the driver has autism, include directions for law enforcement, space for additional communication needs, and hold vehicle registration, insurance, and emergency contact info.
No, the Department does not verify the information provided on the envelope, and no liability is created based on its content.
