DMV Point System

one-point incidents:

    * An accident in which you are at fault

    * A minor moving violation (traffic ticket)

These will get you two points:

    * Reckless driving

    * Driving on a suspended or revoked license

    * Hit-and-run accident

    * Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI)

The DMV has the right to suspend  or revoke your driving privileges if you
accumulate a certain number of points over a set period of time.

    * Four points within a 12-month period

    * Six points in a 24-month period

    * Eight points in a 36-month period

Effect on Insurance Rates

When you apply for auto insurance, and every time you renew, your insurance
company checks your driving record. If you've amassed points, you'll pay
more, or even be booted.

Clearing Your Record

Time will clear your record of any points logged against it. Here is a
breakdown of how long each point infraction will remain on your driving
record:

    * One-point additions to a driving record are usually cleared after three
years, as are most two-point additions.

    * Failure to appear in court for any traffic violation will remain on the
driving record for five years. Failure to appear in court for a DUI will
remain on record for 10 years.

How to Avoid Getting Points

But if you find yourself with a ticket, you might be able to attend traffic
school to keep the points from being added to your record. Two point
infractions, however, cannot be dismissed with traffic school.

Checking the Status of Your License

Whenever you need or want to check the status of your driver’s license, you
can order a driving record report.
