(Soft-Sell Warning Letter) You were told about Oregon’s Driver Improvement Program in an earlier letter. Your record shows that you have had two traffic tickets in 12 months.

You can avoid the need for this interview if you drive trouble-free in the next 12 months. To help you do this, we strongly urge you to attend a driver improvement course. These classes improve driver knowledge of traffic laws and safe driving practices. If you take one of these courses, it could be a very positive step toward improving your driving and will help you avoid future tickets and accidents. Either class will help you become a safer and more responsible driver. Because we are more concerned than ever about your driving, we ask you to seriously consider taking one of these courses as soon as possible. Enrollment information is at the bottom of this page.
