31 Miss. Code. R. 1-10.13 - Problem Driver Pointer System
1. The State of
Mississippi, Department of Public Safety, is mandated by federal law to develop
and implement a subsystem of the driver license system called the "Problem
Driver Pointer System" (PDPS). This system will allow us to send "interactive"
inquiries to the National Driver Register (NDR) for all drivers. The NDR houses
information about all problem drivers (suspensions, revocations, etc.) in every
state. Currently we can only send and receive interactive inquiries to the NDR
on CDL drivers through the CDLIS System (a vital part of the driver license
system). Other states are currently active PDPS States and have been for some
time now. The Problem Driver Pointer System will go into production on January
2, 1995 for the State of Mississippi.
2. As part of the licensing process, we are
required to make an inquiry to the NDR/PDPS on first time non-minimum age
drivers (all originals). If the inquiry response returns "possible matches",
you must determine if the applicant and the inquiry response information are
the same individual. If they are, "DO NOT LICENSE". The information you receive
will contain each state, the state address, and phone number that may have an
outstanding action against that driver. It is the driver's responsibility to
resolve the issue with each state.
