DIP as a Probation Requirement

Sometimes a person’s probation might require doing a Missouri Driver Improvement Program (DIP) course. Given the correct “horror story” of the costs of another driving course (SATOP — click here for SATOP info) which can cost from $575 to more than $1900 (and take 10 to more than 75 hours to complete), some assume DIP is similarly costly. It isn’t. Nor it is burdensome — it can be done online and one sitting. This post provides information to get DIP done and get it done quickly.

As I note in another post, there can be a benefit to do doing DIP to prevent points being put on your license. Read that post here.

Low Cost and Available Online

The cost of the program varies depending on the provider you choose. Based on current approved online list of providers, prices generally range from:

• Low End: $7.95 to $9.99
• Mid Range: $10.00 to $19.95
• High End: $24.95 to $29.99

Again, the list of providers can be found towards the bottom of this page: Driver Improvement Program – Missouri Safety Center

Note: Some providers may charge additional fees for certificate processing or expedited mailing.
