At least 25 states have enacted legislation defining HTOs. State HTO laws generally have timeframes for such offenses ranging from two years to seven years. They also include reckless driving, street racing and using a vehicle to commit a felony offense. Typical offenses which can lead to an HTO designation include multiple convictions arising out of voluntary or involuntary manslaughter, driving on a suspended or revoked license and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In some states, drivers with a long list of traffic offenses, who have demonstrated that they may be a danger on the roadway, may be designated as a habitual traffic offender (HTO).
