Driver License Point System
Each time you receive a ticket for a moving violation or speeding, a point value will be added to your driving record. If you reach 12 or more points within one year, your license will be suspended. Points are calculated by the date you received the ticket.
- 12 points accumulated in 12 months will result in a 30 day suspension of your driving privilege.
- 18 points accumulated in 18 months (including points from a 12 point suspension) will result in a 3-month suspension of your driving privilege.
- 24 points accumulated in 36 months (including points from a 12 point and /or 18 point suspension) will result in a one-year suspension of your driving privilege.
