Traffic Violations and Points on Your License
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) issues all licenses that legally give you the right to operate a motor vehicle. You will have points added to your license for traffic violations. If you accrue enough points, your license will be suspended.
The DMV will institute a license suspension if:
- You Get 4 Points in 1 Year
- You Get 6 Points in 2 Years
- You Get 8 Points in 3 Years
Traffic infractions usually only at a single point to your license. Misdemeanor and felony traffic violations may add two points. Each point on your license will eventually be removed after a set period of time. Some drivers also complete traffic school to get points off of their license.
Note that, in some cases, you may face an automatic suspension of your license, regardless of how many points you have. Drivers that are arrested for a DUI must set up a hearing with the DMV within 10 days of their arrest, or they will lose their license automatically.
