Proposed Rules – Remedial Driver Education (Driver Improvement Program and Probationary Driver Program) The Motor Vehicle Commission (“Commission”) has proposed rules regarding the Commission’s Driver Improvement Program (“DIP”) and Probationary Driver Program (“PDP”). The rules that are the subject of this regulatory proposal pertain to the provision of remedial driver education courses pursuant to N.J.S.A. 39:5-30.2 and N.J.S.A. 39:3-13.4.
