Traffic Ticket?
If you acquire 11 or more points within a period of 18 months, you will receive a notice from the Department
of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to attend a safety hearing. A plea or any single conviction that results in 5 or more
points may result in a safety hearing. Your license may be suspended or revoked at the conclusion
of the hearing. You will have the option to waive the hearing or accepting a definite period of suspension.
If you are convicted of three speeding violations within 18 months, no matter how fast you were traveling, or you are convicted
of drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs, revocation and suspension are mandatory.
Points are assessed against you based upon the activity/violation on the date you committed the violation
and not on the date you are convicted in court. |
Points on your license can cost you higher insurance rates or result in the loss of your privilege to drive. In
order to avoid either of these problems you can take a point reduction or insurance reduction program from an
accredited driving school; see the Steven's Driving School
for their training services.
