Length of Suspension

18 points within an 18-month period,
including points which cause suspension under line 1 above
3 months
24 points within a 36-month period,
including points which cause suspension under line 2 above
1 year

In computing points and suspensions, the offense dates of all convictions are used.
Three points will be deducted from the driver record of any person whose driving privilege has been suspended only once under the point system and has been reinstated, if such person has complied with all other requirements.
NOTE:Serving a point suspension does not prohibit these convictions from being used to accumulate additional suspensions or revocations.

Mandatory Restriction For Minors

Any driver under the age of 18 who accumulates six or more points within a 12 month period shall be automatically restricted for one year to driving for business purposes ONLY. If additional points are accumulated the restriction will be extended for 90 days for every additional point received.
