State Point Systems

The United States generally makes use of a point system in tracking the driving record of most drivers. Some states have other methods of measurement, but the point system helps determine when drivers have consistently broken traffic laws and been convicted of those crimes. Most states utilize these systems, however, each state has its own specifications for points and suspensions. Many states have point systems similar to this:

• Driving 1-10 mph over speed limit

• Minor moving violations

• Refusal of breath test for DUI (drivers under 21 years of age)

Three-Point Violations

Six-Point Violations
