People are always calling me asking how the DMV figures
your total point amount. This is very tricky, follow closely.
There is no real discretion, you points are calculated by
a fancy DMV computer.
- First of all, you must be convicted of the ticket for
the points to be added to your total, while the ticket is pending, there are
no points on your record. Because, in America, it is "innocent
until proven guilty." In addition, your total point count is
calculated based on the date of the violation, not the date of the
conviction. However, the violation stays on the record for 4
years.
- Points for tickets that all happened within the last 18
months of one another are combined together to calculate your point total.
- The insurance company will see the conviction, and the
points, on your driver record for as long as the conviction remains on your
record (for for 4 years from date of conviction.) The conviction and points
is not removed after 18 months from the violation date, even if technically,
the points fall off after 18 months. The only thing that is affected by the
passage of time is that the points come off after 18 months.
- 3 speeding ticket convictions for speeding tickets
received within an 18 month period lead to the revocation of the license
- 11 points accumulated within 18 months leads to a
suspension hearing.
A Point Total Example
Let's say that you are convicted of a 4-point violation
and the for a ticket you received on January 1, 2008. You are later convicted of
a 3-point violation that occurred on July 1, 2009 and you would have 7 Points.
Let's say that you are convicted of a 8-point
violation and the for a ticket you received on January 1, 2008. You are later
convicted of a 3-point violation for a ticket you received on July 5, 2010, then
you would only have 3 points as of July 5, 2010, not 11.
