Did you get a letter from the MVA requiring you to take the Driver Improvement Program (DIP)?
There are a few different reasons why the MVA may have sent you a letter requiring you to complete the DIP.
- Referred by a Judge.
- Accumulating 5, 6, or 7 points.
- Convicted or granted probation before judgment for a moving violation while on a provisional license.
Sometimes we forget about the letter or are too busy to complete the class.
It just happens. You may have been confused about the due date. But, for whatever reason, you just didn’t get the program done. Once the due date slips by, the MVA will most likely send you another letter notifying you that your license will be suspended.
You may have moved and did not file a change of address with the MVA.
If you change your residence, you have an obligation to tell the MVA your new address. The MVA will use your address to notify you of any issues with your license. Unfortunately, if the MVA notice doesn’t get through to you, the MVA will still suspend your license.
Were you pulled over and cited for driving on a suspended license?
If you continue to drive while your license is suspended, you risk getting a ticket for driving on a suspended license. This is a serious must appear ticket. The violation can result in penalties ranging from fines and points on your license – all the way to jail time.
