How It Works!
Online Driver Improvement Program (DIP):
- You may be assigned to the Driver Improvement Program (DIP) by the MVA, the Courts, or an Administrative Law Judge, because you are suspended or revoked, or received your first moving violation while holding a provisional license.
- If you are revoked, you will need to complete the program as part of your reinstatement process. You will not have a referral letter telling you to complete the program by a certain date.
- In all other instances involving an MVA ("Assignment to DIP") referral letter, you will need to complete the program by the Completion (Due) Date listed on the top right of your letter, or you will be suspended until you successfully finish the program.
