The effectiveness of the IFT, I.R.A.K. and LEER courses for drinking drivers has been examined thoroughly in an exhaustive scientific study. Empirical tests have clearly demonstrated that all three models are successful. In a critical analysis of these results, Hundhausen questions the effectiveness of the models. Hundhausen's arguments in this analysis are based on erroneous assumptions. This reply demonstrates the incorrectness of his argumentation.
