Driver improvement programs

Driver improvement programs are offered as mandatory sentences for certain offenses or for drivers who want to deduct points from their current driver status. These deductions do not affect your overall driving history record.

Point violation program
The MVC Driver Improvement Program is offered in lieu of a 30-day suspension for drivers who accumulate 12 to 14 points in more than two years. Information about the program is included in the Notice of Scheduled Suspension that you receive in the mail. Up to three points will be removed from your driving record if you successfully complete the program. The fee for the program is $100.


Probationary Driver School Program
When you are issued a driver license permit for the first time, you become a probationary driver. During the two-year probation period, if you are convicted of two or more moving violations with a total of four or more points, it is mandatory to enroll in the Probationary Driver School Program. Information will be given if and when you are required to attend. The fee for the program is $100.

The program's purpose is to correct improper or dangerous driving practices. If you complete the program, you will receive a three-point reduction and be placed on a one-year test period. If you fail to complete the program, or if you commit a violation during your test period, your driving privileges will be suspended.
