you may be eligible for a conditional license or a conditional driving privilege if you participate in New York State’s Impaired Driver Program (IDP) (previously known as Drinking Driving Program (DDP)) or an approved out-of-state program. <p>Your “Order of Suspension or Revocation” from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will indicate a nearby state or county motor vehicle office where you may enroll in the Impaired Driver Program and apply for a conditional license/privilege, if applicable.<p>Participation in the Impaired Driver Program (IDP) will not prevent, reduce, or delay fines, fees, or penalties imposed under the driver responsibility assessment program. <p><a href=https://dmv.ny.gov/tickets/impaired-driver-program-alcohol-drug-rehabilitation-program target=blank>

</strong></h2><p><strong> <a class=toggle_action href=#how> WHAT IS THE NEW YORK STATE IMPAIRED DRIVER PROGRAM (NYS IDP)? </a> </strong><div style="display: none;"class=div_toggle><p>The NYS IDP is a prevention-based education program for individuals convicted of a drinking driving related offense.  Completion of this 16-hour program spread over 7 weeks will enable qualifying motorists to fulfill court requirements and potentially reduce the length of their suspension period.<p>If convicted of an alcohol or drug related driving violation, your license or privilege to drive in New York State will be revoked or suspended.<p>If the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles determines you are eligible, and you do apply, for a conditional license or a conditional driving privilege, you will be mandated to participate in the New York State Impaired Driver Program.<p>A conditional driving privilege will allow you to legally drive within certain limitations.<p>The court may also mandate the Impaired Driver Program as a condition of your sentence. This does not guarantee you will be granted a conditional license or conditional driving privileges, but you would still be required to take the program.</div><p><strong> <a class=toggle_action2 href=#how> WHAT DOES THE IDP CLASSROOM PHASE ENTAIL? </a> </strong><div style="display: none;"class=div_toggle2><p>In 2011 the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles (NYS DMV) and NYS Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services (NYS OASAS) collaborated to standardize use of IDP curriculum statewide.  As a result NYS DMV and NYS OASAS jointly implemented the research demonstrated tool on alcohol and other drug intervention/educational program from the Change Companies( <a href=http://www.changecompanies.net target=blank> www.changecompanies.net </a> ).  (As of January, 2018)<p>This training offers participants the opportunity to gain, knowledge and skills to minimize the risk of further alcohol and/or other drug driving incidents.  As a result participants are recommended to develop a personal action plan to identify and address harmful choices that put all New Yorkers at risk for death, injury and other losses.</div><p><strong> <a class=toggle_action3 href=#how> HOW TO SIGN UP FOR THE NEW YORK STATE IMPAIRED DRIVER PROGRAM (IDP) </a> </strong><div style="display: none;"class=div_toggle3><p>Motorists with a NYS Driver’s License/Permit, who have been convicted of a DWI/DWAI, must register for the IDP through any NYS Department of Motor Vehicles.<p>Bring your driver license, unless it has already been taken by the court, or proof of identity with signature and payment (a non-refundable fee) of $75.00* to enroll.  Other fees may also be required in certain cases.  If placed on probation because of this conviction, you also must bring written permission from the sentencing court or your probation officer, which allows you to apply for a license.<p>Select the County in which you wish to attend the IDP.  The clerk will then give you information regarding the dates, times, and locations of the classes to select from.  Participants select their own location with start date.<p>As an IDP participant, you must attend all seven (7) weekly classroom sessions for a total of 16 hours.<p>*Subject to change.</div><p><strong> <a class=toggle_action4 href=#required> I AM REQUIRED BY THE COURT TO TAKE THE IMPAIRED DRIVER PROGRAM.

</a> </strong><div style="display: none;"class=div_toggle5><p>The cost of the class itself is $234.00*, payable to the chosen IDP program.<p>There will be additional fees if you transfer to another program or if you have been dropped from the course and wish to be reinstated.<p>Participants must cover all costs for evaluation and treatment, if required, which is above the class fee.<p>*Subject to change.</div><p><strong> <a class=toggle_action6 href=#required> DOES MY INSURANCE COVER THE CLASS FEE?
