Massachusetts Driver Retraining Program

Motorists who have received a notification that the Massachusetts Registry of Vehicles (RMV) intends to suspend their driver’s license/right to operate a motor vehicle for being found responsible for three or more surchargeable events in a two-year period (calculated from the conviction date) are required to complete the Driver Retraining Program (DRP) to avoid the suspension or to have their license reinstated. Depending on the number of Driver Retraining Program classes you are required to complete, you may be assigned in-person and/or online courses.

Our website is the quickest and easiest way to register for your DRP classes any time. Simply enter your driver details and it will automatically help you register for the specific in-person or online course assigned for each of your DRP requirements, in order, by earliest suspension date.
