Section 735-072-0041 - DMV Determination of Driver Improvement Offenses for the Driver Improvement Program

(1) A conviction for an offense listed in OAR 735-064-0220 and a preventable accident arising from a single incident each count as a separate driver improvement offense. DMV will add no more than two driver improvement offenses to the record for a single incident.

(2) If a person is convicted of more than one offense arising from a single traffic stop, the convictions for separate offenses constitute one conviction and are a driver improvement offense if at least one of the convictions is for an offense listed in OAR 735-064-0220.

(3) An out-of-state conviction that becomes part of an Oregon driving record when a person changes the state of record to become an Oregon licensed driver is not a driver improvement offense.

(4) DMV may determine if an accident is preventable. Factors DMV uses to determine preventability include but are not limited to:

(a) Violations of the law, even if a citation is not issued;

(b) Failure to use defensive driving techniques;

(c) Road conditions existing at the time of the accident; and

(d) Speed of the driver's vehicle.
