You can take the Missouri Driver Improvement Program once every 36 months to receive the point prevention benefit. Eligibility is determined by your court and the Missouri Department of Revenue.
Understanding how often you can take the Missouri Driver Improvement Program is important if you want to prevent points on your driving record. The 36-month rule is set by state law, and both your court and the Missouri Department of Revenue decide if you qualify. Make sure you know your eligibility before enrolling.
How the 36-Month Rule Works
The Missouri Driver Improvement Program (DIP) point prevention benefit is only available once every 36 months. This rule is established by Missouri Revised Statutes §302.302. If you try to take the course again within 36 months of your last completion, you may not receive the point prevention benefit.
Who Decides If You Are Eligible?
Your eligibility to take the Missouri Driver Improvement Program is determined by your court and the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR). Driving Logic does not verify your eligibility at enrollment. Before enrolling, contact your court if you are unsure about your eligibility. The Missouri DOR may deny the point prevention benefit if you are within the 36-month window. For more details on program rules, visit the Missouri Department of Revenue’s driver improvement program page: Missouri DOR Driver Improvement Program.
Can You Take the Course More Than Once?
You can only take the Missouri Driver Improvement Program again if you have a new court order. Even with a court order, if you are within 36 months of your last completion, the Missouri Department of Revenue may deny the point prevention benefit. Always confirm your eligibility with your court before enrolling.
