• Abstract:
  The purpose of the Oregon Department of Transportation-Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) Driver Improvement Program (DIP) is to improve traffic safety by temporarily restricting unsafe drivers or removing them from Oregon’s highways through the suspension process. ; In January 2002 new driver improvement programs were implemented for adults and for drivers under 18, substantially changing the previous program which included advisory and warning letters, driver improvement interviews, and driver improvement classes. Changes resulted from a decision by the Oregon Attorney General to prohibit the use of highway funds for activities not directly restricting driving privileges, such as warning letters and interviews.
