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.
