1. The Driver Improvement Program

The Driver Improvement Program (DIP) is designed to preemptively correct dangerous driving behaviour. This “program” ultimately acts as a series of restrictions that can be imposed on you to correct what are deemed to be unsafe habits on the road. The DIP’s impact on drivers can range from simple warning letters to complete prohibitions on driving. Dangerous driving habits are identified in a number of different ways. These include penalty points (commonly referred to as demerits), offences under the BC Motor Vehicle Act, criminal charges, and through actions taken by the police, which in turn are noted on a driver’s record.
