2.1. Requirements for Operating a Motor Vehicle on Robins AFB. All personnel operating a pri-vately-owned vehicle (POV) on Robins AFB must have in their possession, and provide, at the request of 78th Security Forces Squadron (78 SFS) personnel, the following:

2.1.1. Current insurance coverage card for the vehicle being operated. This card must show the expira-tion date of the insurance policy. For rental vehicles, a vehicle rental agreement shall serve as valid proof of vehicle insurance. Personnel without a current insurance coverage card in their possession while oper-ating a vehicle on Robins AFB will be cited and given a letter instructing them to report to the 78 SFS Reports and Analysis Section (78 SFS/SFAR). A person cited must present a valid insurance card to 78 SFS/SFAR within 3 duty days. The card must show insurance coverage on the day (and at the time, if applicable) of the traffic stop or incident that caused coverage to be questioned. Failure of a driver to comply with the above requirements will indicate they were driving an “uninsured vehicle.” “Uninsured vehicle” is a vehicle without the minimum insurance coverage required for registration by the laws and regulations of the State of Georgia.

2.1.1.2. A valid state, overseas command, host nation, or international driver’s license, and/or AF Form 2293, US Air Force Motor Vehicle Operator’s Identification Card, supported by a DD Form 2, US Armed Forces Identification Card. According to GA Criminal and Traffic Law Manual/O.C.G.A 40-5-21, an international driver’s license is valid for a period of not more than 45 days from the date of the active duty member’s return to the United States.

2.1.2. (Added) At a minimum, vehicle registrants must maintain adequate liability insurance coverage, as required by state law, which covers them and any other personnel authorized or granted permission to operate the registered POV. “Out-of-state visitors” to Robins AFB that are operating a vehicle not regis-tered in Georgia, shall comply with the laws of the state in which the vehicle they are operating is regis-tered. “Out-of-state visitor” means any short term visitor to Robins AFB that is not one of the following:

a resident of Georgia, military member assigned to Robins AFB, or the family member of military person-nel assigned to Robins AFB.

2.2. Stopping and Inspecting Personnel or Vehicles.

2.2.1.2. In accordance with AFI 31-101, The Air Force Installation Security Program, as supplemented, 78 SFS personnel may inspect, search, and/or impound motor vehicles at installation entry points and other locations throughout Robins AFB in an attempt to prevent the introduction of unauthorized person-nel, drugs, weapons, or illicit material, or the unauthorized removal of government supplies, property, or equipment.

2.2.1.3. To prevent unauthorized POVs from entering a restricted area as established in AFI 31-101, 78 SFS personnel may conduct on-base POV inspections when there is reasonable cause to believe installa-tion resources may be in danger or there is suspicion of criminal activity.

2.5. Suspension or Revocation of Driving Privileges.

2.5.1.3. Before an individual is released from apprehension for intoxicated driving or driving while their state driver's license is suspended or revoked, they will be issued a "Notice of Preliminary Suspension of Installation Driving Privileges." If the individual refuses to acknowledge receipt, the 78 SFS member will annotate the refusal on the notice, sign it, and have a witness sign it. In the case where an individual is arrested off-base for intoxicated driving, the individual must report to 78 SFS/SFAR to sign this notice, as soon as possible after the incident occurred. In addition, a “Suspension of Installation Driving Privileges” letter is sent to the first sergeant or civilian supervisor of the individual to report to 78 SFS/SFAR.

AFI31-204_ROBINSAFB 13 DECEMBER 2006 3

2.5.2. Revocation.

2.5.2.5. (Added) All vehicles registered to persons who have had their privilege to operate a vehicle sus-pended or revoked for a period of 6 months or greater must de-register the vehicle through the 78 SFS Pass and Registration Section (78 SFS/SFOXI) and remove the vehicle from the installation for the period of the suspension or revocation.

2.5.2.5.1. (Added) When a revocation or suspension period terminates, the vehicle owner must re-register the vehicle according to Chapter 3 of this supplement.

2.5.2.5.2. (Added) Dormitory residents who have had their driving privileges revoked for a period of 6 months or greater must de-register their vehicle through 78 SFS/SFOXI and remove the vehicle from the installation. If the individual wishes to have a co-worker, friend, etc., who is affiliated with Robins AFB register their vehicle; they must obtain a notarized letter before the vehicle can be registered in the co-worker/friend’s name via an AF Form 75, Visitor/Vehicle Pass, for the duration of the suspension.

Once the suspension is terminated the owner will be required to re-register their vehicle through 78 SFS/

SFOXI.

2.5.3. (Added) Reinstatement of driving privileges shall be automatic, provided all revocations applica-ble have expired, proper proof of completion of remedial driving course and/or substance abuse counsel-ing (if applicable) has been provided, and reinstatement requirements of individual’s home state and/or state the individual may have been suspended in, have been met.

2.6. Reciprocal Procedures.

2.6.1. Revocations issued at Robins AFB will remain in effect during reassignment, temporary duty, etc.

Suspensions and revocations issued at Robins AFB are valid at all DoD installations regardless of their location. Personnel with suspended or revoked privileges may petition for partial or limited driving priv-ileges by following the procedures outlined in paragraphs 2.7.4. (Added) and 2.7.5. (Added) of this sup-plement. All suspensions and revocations are tracked through Security Forces Management Information System (SFMIS) and are acknowledged by Robins AFB authorities, ensuring adherence to all rules.

2.7. Administrative Due Process for Suspensions and Revocations.

2.7.1. Upon determination by 78 SFS/SFAR that driving privilege suspension or revocation action should be taken on an individual, a “Notice of Preliminary Suspension of Installation Driving Privileges” letter notifying the individual of the impending suspension or revocation will be forwarded to the military mem-ber's first sergeant or commander, or the civilian employee’s supervisor. For all other personnel, the letter will be sent to the individual’s home mailing address.

2.7.2. In the “Notice of Preliminary Suspension of Base Driving Privileges” letter, the individual will be given the opportunity to request a hearing to dispute/modify the suspension/revocation. This letter must be returned NLT 10 business days after the date of the letter to 78 SFS/SFAR. If the individual fails to return this letter within the allotted time, the individual relinquishes the right to a hearing and action will be taken to suspend/revoke the individuals driving privileges. The “Notice of Preliminary Suspension of Base Driving Privileges” letter will be considered as the “reasonable attempt” necessary to fulfill this requirement prior to suspension/revocation action. Hearings for suspensions and revocations will be in accordance with paragraphs 2.7.4. (Added) and 2.7.5. (Added) of this supplement.

2.7.4. (Added) Any person whose driving privilege has been suspended or revoked, or is pending suspen-sion or revocation, has the right to have the suspension/revocation reviewed by the 78 ABW/CC or desig-nee. As a result of this review the 78 ABW/CC, or designee, may or may not require an administrative

4 AFI31-204_ROBINSAFB 13 DECEMBER 2006

hearing be held based on his or her review of the available evidence before rendering a decision on the request.

2.7.5. (Added) Individuals wishing an administrative hearing must submit a written request to 78 SFS/ SFAR and include in the request a complete return address, home and work telephone numbers, any evi-dence or witnesses, and the reason for requesting a hearing, limited driving privileges, or reinstatement of driving privileges.

The 78 SFS vehicles will be exempted from this requirement if the use of siren and/or emergency lights would, or could expect to, prevent a desired undetected arrival to potentially hostile situations. The driver of an authorized emergency vehicle, when responding to an emergency call, may exercise the following privileges:

4.2.7.1. (Added) Park or stand at any location on the installation. Every attempt should be made to avoid impeding the flow of traffic.
