Points and Suspension Checker

Schedule (Veh. Code 12810, read 12 Nov 2026): reckless driving 2 points (12810(c)); driving over 100 mph under 22348(b) 2 points (12810(d)(1)); “any other traffic conviction involving the safe operation of a motor vehicle” 1 point (12810(f)), which covers the other violations in the checker. A hand-held phone point applies only to a repeat conviction within 36 months (12810.3), so leave a first phone ticket out.

Lines (12810.5(a)): a driver with “four or more points in 12 months, six or more points in 24 months, or eight or more points in 36 months shall be prima facie presumed to be a negligent operator”. The section names no suspension length; DMV acts after notice, and a hearing can be asked for. Section 12810.5(b) sets different counts for some Class A and B drivers, which the checker doesn’t apply. Provisional license (12814.6(g)): 2 points in 12 months, a 30-day restriction to driving with a licensed parent, spouse, guardian or other licensed driver 25 or older; 3 points in 12 months, a 6-month suspension and a year of probation. State page: California points and traffic school.

Schedule (C.R.S. 42-2-127(5), Colorado Revised Statutes 2026, read 12 Nov 2026): speeding 1-4 over 0, 5-9 over 1, 10-19 over 4, 20-39 over 6, 40 or more over 12 (over the reasonable and prudent speed, or over the 75 mph maximum); failure to observe a traffic sign or signal 4; following too closely 4; failure to yield 3; reckless driving 8; failure to stop for a school bus 6; moving violations not listed, other than a class B traffic infraction, 3 (127(5)(r)). Paid on time (127(5.5)): a penalty assessment paid by its due date cuts a 3-or-more-point violation by 2 and a 2-point one by 1. The checker makes no cut for reckless driving, passing a stopped school bus or speeding 25 mph or more over: none of these is on the penalty-assessment schedule in C.R.S. 42-4-1701(4), so (5.5) can’t reach them.

Lines (127(1)(a)): adults 12 points in any 12 consecutive months or 18 in any 24; drivers 18 to 20, 9 in 12, 12 in 24, or 14 for violations after 18 (the checker tests the 14 against your highest 36-month total, so enter only tickets from after 18); drivers under 18, more than 5 in 12 months or more than 6 before 18. Windows run by violation date (127(2)(a)). No suspension until a hearing has been held or missed (127(1)(d)), and the department “shall not suspend … for a period of more than one year” (42-2-132(1)); the length is set at the hearing. Chauffeurs on duty have higher lines (16 in 1 year, 24 in 2, 28 in 4), which the checker doesn’t apply. State page: Colorado points.

Schedule (322.27(3)(d), 2026 Florida Statutes, read 12 Nov 2026): speeding not over 15 mph 3, over 15 mph 4; traffic control signal device 4; reckless 4; passing a stopped school bus 4 (6 with serious injury or death); all other moving violations 3, which covers following too closely and failure to yield. Camera tickets carry no points. Stop-sign tickets are left out of the checker: depending on the charge they fall under the signal-device line (4) or the other-violations line (3), and only the citation shows which.

Lines (322.27(3)(a)-(c)): 12 points in 12 months, “not more than 30 days”; 18 in 18 months, “not more than 3 months”; 24 in 36 months, “not more than 1 year”. Offense dates count (322.27(4)). Ages 15 to 17 (322.161): a Class E licensee aged 15 through 17 with 6 or more points in 12 months gets a license restricted to business purposes only, for at least 1 year, extended 90 days for each further point; the restriction is withdrawn at the 18th birthday if no other grounds exist (322.161(1)(c)). State page: Florida points, suspension and BDI.

Schedule (Transp. 16-402(a), read 12 Nov 2026): any moving violation not listed and not contributing to a crash 1; following too closely 2; 10 or more over 2; red signal 2; failing to stop for a school vehicle 3; 20 or more over a posted 65 mph limit 5; reckless 6; 30 or more over 6. Points count “as of the date of violation”, and only the highest charge from one occasion counts (16-402(b)). Stop-sign and failure-to-yield tickets are left out: the schedule lists several sections by number that we have not matched to those charges.

Lines (16-404(a), any 2-year period): 3 points, a warning letter; 5, a driver improvement program (a professional driver with a class A, B or C license can be called in at 8); 8, suspension; 12, revocation. A first suspension “may not be for less than 2 days nor more than 30 days”, later ones 15 to 90 days (16-404(c)); the revocation length was not read. The notice gives 10 days, not counting weekends and legal holidays, to ask for a hearing (16-404(b)(2)). Provisional, under 18 (16-404(d)): 5 or more points in 12 months, a 6-month suspension the first time, 1 year after that. State page: Maryland points.

Schedule (NAC 483.510, read 11 to 12 Nov 2026): speeding 1-10 over 1, 11-20 over 2, 21-30 over 3, 31-40 over 4, 41 or more over 5; red light, stop sign, failure to yield, following too closely and school bus 4; reckless 8. Other moving violations are left out of the checker. Points drop off 12 months after the conviction date (NAC 483.500), so enter months from the conviction.

Line (NRS 483.475): 12 or more points in 12 months, a 6-month suspension the first time (1 year for a second within 3 years). Nevada’s under-18 rules are not in the checker. Course: up to 3 points off, only after a DMV notice at 3 to 11 points, once in 12 months, and not after reaching 12 (483.475(1)); the checker gives no credit at 12 or more. State page: Nevada demerit points.

Schedule (15 NYCRR 131.3, as amended and enforceable from 16 Feb 2026 under DMV memo P2/M1 2026; rule read 12 Nov 2026 on the official NYCRR site, current through 30 Sep 2025): speeding 1-10 over 3, 11-20 over 4, 21-30 over 6, 31-40 over 8, more than 40 over 11; red light, stop sign and failure to yield 3; following too closely 4; reckless 5; passing a stopped school bus 8 (5 before 16 Feb 2026); other moving violations 2, though some listed ones carry more (failure to exercise due care 5 and speeding in a work zone 8 for violations from 16 Feb 2026). Values go by violation date (131.3(c)).

Lines (131.4): 11 or more points in 24 months, or 9 or more points from speeding in 24 months, lets DMV hold “a formal hearing … at which suspension or revocation action may be taken” (131.4(c)); 7 to 10 points, DMV may require a driver improvement clinic (131.4(b)). The rule sets no suspension length, so the checker shows none. The 24-month look-back started 16 Feb 2026 (it was 18 months), so the checker computes New York only when every ticket is under 9 months old; an older ticket shows “not confirmed”. PIRP (131.5): up to 4 points off the count, for violations in the 18 months before the course, once in 18 months; the checker takes it off the 11-point line only, and whether it also reduces the speeding-points line is not confirmed. Junior license, class DJ or MJ (VTL 510-c, read 12 Nov 2026): a 60-day suspension for one “serious traffic violation” (including speeding 10 or more over, red lights, stop signs, passing a school bus and reckless driving) or for a second conviction of any other kind. A probationary license (the first 6 months, VTL 510-b, read 12 Nov 2026) has its own 60-day rule, which the checker doesn’t apply. State page: New York points and suspension.

Schedule (G.S. 20-16(c), read 11 Nov 2026): speeding in excess of 55 mph 3 (the checker adds the limit and the mph over); speeding at 55 or under, as an other moving violation, 2; red light and stop sign 3; following too closely and reckless 4; passing a stopped school bus 5; other moving violations 2. Failure to yield is left out.

Line (20-16(a)(5), (c)): 12 points in 3 years (8 within 3 years after a reinstatement, which the checker can’t see); the first suspension is “not more than 60 days”, the second not more than 6 months, later ones not more than 1 year. Clinic: the DMV “may” offer a driver with 7 or more points, or 4 or more in the 3 years after a reinstatement, its driver improvement clinic, which takes 3 points off, once in 5 years (G.S. 20-16(c), read 12 Nov 2026). Some single speeding convictions carry their own suspension under other North Carolina sections, which the checker does not test. The provisional-license rules for drivers under 18 are not in the checker. State page: North Carolina points and PJCs.

Schedule (R.C. 4510.036, read 11 to 12 Nov 2026): speeding 30 or more over 4; more than 10 over where the limit is 55 or more, 2; more than 5 over where it is under 55, 2; less, 0; reckless 4; other moving violations 2. Red-light, stop-sign, following, yield and school-bus tickets are left out until the schedule lines for them are re-read.

Lines (4510.037): 12 or more points within 2 years, counted from the first conviction, a class D suspension, which is 6 months (4510.037(B), 4510.02); above 5 points, a warning letter. Remedial course: a 2-point credit, once in 3 years and 5 times in a lifetime. Ohio’s under-18 rule is not in the checker. State page: Ohio points, suspension and SR-22.

Schedule (56-1-720, read 12 Nov 2026): speeding no more than 10 over 2, more than 10 but less than 25 over 4, 25 or more over 6; disobeying an official traffic control device (red lights and stop signs) 4; failing to yield 4; following too closely 4; reckless 6; passing a stopped school bus 6. The schedule has no catch-all line, so other moving violations are left out.

How it counts (56-1-750): points from the 12 months up to and including the latest violation count in full, those from 12 to 24 months before it count half, older ones not at all. Line (56-1-740(A)): 12 points; the department “may suspend, for not more than six months”: 12-15 points three months, 16-17 four, 18-19 five, 20 or more six. Violations used for one suspension are not counted again (56-1-760). Course (56-1-770): 4 points off, once in 3 years. South Carolina’s under-18 rules are not in the checker. State page: South Carolina points.

No points since 1 Sep 2019. Transp. Code 521.292(b) (read 12 Nov 2026) makes a “habitual violator” of a person with “four or more convictions that arise out of different transactions in 12 consecutive months, or seven or more convictions that arise out of different transactions in 24 months”, for moving violations of any state, with seat-belt and some truck-weight offenses left out. The checker counts each row as 1. If no hearing is requested, the suspension is 90 days (521.293). Under 18 (521.292(a)(8)): two or more moving violations committed within a 12-month period. State page: Texas convictions and the driving safety course.

Schedule (46.2-492(D), read 12 Nov 2026): speeding 1-9 over 3, 10-19 over 4, 20 or more over 6; failure to yield 4; following too closely 4; reckless 6; only the highest offense from one occasion counts (46.2-492(E)). The statute leaves other values, including red lights, stop signs and school buses, to the Commissioner, so those are left out. Points are valid 2 years from the offense date (46.2-493).

Lines: 18 points within any 12 consecutive months or 24 within any 24: the Commissioner suspends for 90 days “and thereafter until” a driver improvement clinic is completed, or requires 9 months in the Intelligent Speed Assistance Program plus a clinic, the driver choosing within 30 days of the notice (46.2-506(B)); 12 in 12 or 18 in 24, for drivers 18 or older, a clinic (46.2-498(A)). Safe driving points (one per clean calendar year, up to 5, 46.2-494) offset demerits; the checker can’t see them. Voluntary clinic: 5 points off or a premium reduction, not both, once in 2 years (46.2-498(D)). Under 18 (46.2-334.01(A)): for offenses committed before 18 (convictions up to age 19 count), a first demerit conviction, a clinic; a second, 90 days; a third, revocation for 1 year or until 18, whichever is longer. State page: Virginia demerit points.

No points. RCW 46.20.2892 (version in effect from 1 Apr 2026, read 12 Nov 2026) counts the occasions on which a person “committed a traffic infraction for a moving violation”; several infractions from one stop are one occasion. Three or more occasions within a year, or four or more within two years: a 60-day suspension and a year of probation, with a safe driving course before reinstatement; the course can end the suspension early, once every 5 years. Two in a year or three in two years: a notice that one more will mean suspension. Reckless driving is a crime with its own suspension rule (RCW 46.61.500), not an infraction, so it is left out. Washington’s rules for intermediate (under-18) licenses are not in the checker. State page: Washington moving violations.
