Question 1

Who is required to complete an Indiana Driver Safety Program course?

Accepted Answer

Indiana state law provides that persons convicted of two or more traffic offenses within a 12-month period may be required to complete a BMV-approved Driver Safety Program. Individuals under 18 years of age are required to complete a DSP if, within a 12-month period, they are convicted of two or more traffic offenses, are involved in two or more accidents, or a combination of the two. A court may also require completion of a DSP course as an alternative to suspension of driving privileges.

Question 2

When the Indiana BMV is notified of the qualifying convictions, a Driver Safety Program course must be completed within 90 days or driving privileges will be suspended. Notification of this requirement is mailed from the BMV.

How much does the Indiana DSP course cost?
