Potentially Deadly Consequences: California Unlicensed Driver Information to be Released by Auto Club



WHO:        A new study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety shows
            that when drivers' licenses are suspended or revoked, 
            drivers continue to drive -- with potentially deadly 
            consequences. The Automobile Club of Southern California, 
            the largest AAA affiliate, will release 
            California-specific information on unlicensed California 
            drivers.

WHAT:       The study titled "Unlicensed to Kill," examined five years 
            of traffic data from 1993 through 1997.

WHEN:       Wednesday, July 12
            The Auto Club news release containing California data will 
            be distributed via Business Wire at 8 a.m. Pacific time. 
            Members of the media who do not have access to Business 
            Wire can call the Auto Club's media line at 714/885-2333 
            to request a copy of the news release.

            endangering the safety of all motorists.
