New York Lesson Plan Updates

As your traffic safety education curriculum provider, Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) is always committed to providing the finest and most up-to-date instructional materials available.

Nearly a month ago, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) quietly revised its point system for traffic violations—so quietly, in fact, that despite the November 6 rollout, the DMV’s website hasn’t yet been updated.

This change will be discussed in more detail at the upcoming biannual seminar, but the revised curriculum components are available to you for download now. (Specifically, this applies to the Lesson Plan (pages 128 – 129) and slide presentation; the workbook files have also been updated to reflect the revised copyright date, but the instructional content has not changed and you may use older versions already in print.)

Those of you who are delivering classroom instruction must ensure that you teach students the updated curriculum.

Changes, as appropriate for the type of course, include:
  • Latest Driving-Without-a-License Laws
  • License Required for Under 18 to Operate a Golf Cart on Roads
  • Enforcement of School Zone Speed Limits

Virginia Curriculum Updates

A change to a longstanding law will take effect soon and, as a consequence, the Basic Driver Improvement Course curricula from Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) have been updated. Previously, drivers could pay a fee when registering their vehicles and would be able to drive without having auto insurance coverage. Effective July 1, 2024, every driver on the road will be required to have insurance (or be able to demonstrate financial responsibility with alternate methods) in order to register a vehicle in Virginia.

Curriculum Update: New Insurance Laws

In an effort to lessen the sting of what are currently the highest automobile insurance rates in the nation, the Michigan legislature has passed significant vehicle insurance reforms. The new laws (Public Act 21 of 2019 and Public Act 22 of 2019) make major changes to the financial responsibility requirements for Michigan vehicle owners, and go into effect July 2, 2020.

As your curriculum provider, Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) is issuing updates to its Michigan Department of State (DoS)-approved Basic Driver Improvement Course (BDIC) curriculum to account for these revised laws. And as a provider of traffic safety education in the state, you should familiarize yourself with these changes so you can provide proper education and assistance to your students.

Internet Modality


The DoS-approved changes have already been incorporated into TSC's Internet-based BDIC program, and will go live for your students on July 2. No further action is required for this modality.

Classroom Modality


Those of you who are delivering classroom instruction must ensure that you are teaching students the updated curriculum content.

California Lesson Plan Updates

This year, in response to AB-2918 from the 2018 legislative session, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) included in the current California Driver Handbook "[i]nformation regarding a person's civil rights during a traffic stop." Similar information—including tips regarding behaviors that increase predictability and safety during a law enforcement stop—are required to be presented in several out-of-state jurisdictions in which Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) offers regulator-approved traffic safety programs. And in light of events that have occurred across the nation over the past several years, we felt that it was important to include this information in our programs for the benefit and safety of our students, law enforcement officers, and the general public.

All programs (driver education, traffic violator school (TVS), and mature driver courses) in all modalities (online, home study booklet, and classroom) and in all languages (English and Spanish) available have been updated with this material as part of the annual legislative update revisions.

For Internet- and booklet-based programs, the information is already included in the curriculum materials. If your school offers classroom-based courses, please ensure that your instructors are presenting this valuable information in class! This material has been added:
  • driver education - to supplement the information previously presented in the "Law Enforcement Stops" section at the end of "Chapter 2: Driver and Vehicle Licensing."
  • traffic violator school - in a new section, "Law Enforcement Stops," in the chapter "Rules of the Road."

Again, we urge you to please remember to present this helpful information in every class that you conduct—and it might just save a life!
